Yep, the only thing that confuses me are the integral sockets on my examples .
 Are any spears from Mindanao tribes socketed as these are ?? |

Thanks Bill and Rick for posting yours.
The problem is that there are so few pictures or examples around (so far) and thus hard to say what kind of socket/sleeve/ferrule was common for these. |

I know, that's what's driving me nuts about my pair .
 The blades are very finely pattern welded; the sockets are plain steel forge welded to the blades . |
