INDIA TIGER SPEAR WITH GUN

Which reminds me of the old saw about the 'ten foot pole' .

Still, I guess it beats the Kukri method of tiger killing .

I agree, not much of a spear blade for Tigers. I don't care how long the pole is! Perhaps, it was mounted on the butt-end, of an Elephant goad? A form of Howdah pistol, with a point. Or, last ditch Tiger medicine. Whatever it is, it's really cool.

Is this an old spear-format version of what some call "the self-cleaning bayonet?"
