Congratulations with this find! Very nice indeed. I had my eyes on the lot, but the photo's were too bad to make a decision. I am looking forward to the other two.

This one indeed makes me think of Nias, but not quite.
See the photo of several Nias spears (Modigliani collection, Florence, Italy).

I think this one is from Aceh, Sumatra.
The base of the blade (covered with brass instead of in one piece with the rest of the iron blade) is exceptional.
