Hi Stuart,
Interesting piece! Measurements would be nice. Until the real experts speak up, I'm guessing some form of African harpoon, perhaps from Sudan. Best, F |

Is that a socket on the left end, or a handle?

Measurements would be very helpful with this. Are those threads on the end of this? If they are I would say that this was possibly forged from a piece of all-thread or a large bolt. I agree with Fearn, it looks like a fishing spear head.

Looks like it was forged from large bolt, or a threaded rod.

Here is link to a Philippine fishing spear point that I have. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...t=robert+spear With the length of yours being so short perhaps it is head for a fishing arrow?
