Default South African police assegai spear

54" overall. Neither the point, nor the blade are sharp. I wonder if these were used more for intimidation than actually sticking someone?

The butt end (with a solid iron cap) would be a very good club. I would think that one of these in skilled stick fighting hands would be formidable.

Shows number "2241" marking. Arsenal? Police?
