Aha, lite svenska... hej

I hope these pictures can be to some help. Yes there is fairly long langets (28 cm) to attach the shaft.
It have been sugested its a "bannerspear" (dont now the english word)
Shaft has two plugs 40 cm apart, perhaps there has been hooks there.
Plug can be seen on last picture.

That's ok, as long as you clean it off the carpet, we'll be fine.

Interesting. Perhaps this is indeed a parade "spear" for mounting colors or a flag? The spiked butt end for embedding in the ground.

The way the spear is mounted on the shaft looks european to me either. A spear for a banner is a good possibility, but it could be a plain spear as well. The blade is rather small, maybe to cut better through armor???
