Fabulous! Could this be European? Could this be some kind of hunting or boar spear? Maybe Indian. It certainly looks heavy enough to be used mounted on a horse. I think it could be European, I will add a picture shortly. This picture got me thinking European or Anglo/Indian sort of area. The haft is so far away from the Malay/Indonesian spears I have seen, not that is a lot. This hunting spear is 18th cent? Tim

Is the haft bamboo? I have seen 19th cent British cavalry lances with bamboo hafts. The stop at the base of the blade looks a bit European. Tim

Hello,
I don't know why but the triangular cross section (does the spear have a triangular cross section? - in the pictures it appears to have one) and the shape of the blade reminds me of the Japanese Yari. Greetings, Helge |
