Well here are the results of the olive rub down.

I just can't get over the size of the blade on this spear. I looked around for a Zulu warrior to hold the spear to demonstrate it's size but the best I could do was a gray haired O.F.

I have Spring's "African Arms and Armour" and he refers to Krige's "The Social system of the Zulu's" in which she refer's to "at least 20 different designs"

Does any one know if Krige describes or has photo's of the designs in her book?

Oh I see my library growing again.
