Spear identification

[Sajen]

Hello All,

today I get this large indonesian spear. 230 cm (90.55 inch) long over all, well forged tip is 8,5 cm (3.35), no pamor visible. The shaft is round and become at the last 57 cm (22.44) seven polygonal. Have someone an idea about the origin of this spear? Thank you very much in advance for every comment,

Well, my first thought is still Sumatra.
Check out the RMV website :

Look for "Lans Sumatra".

following examples I found in a few minutes where from Toba and Aceh :

Thank you Willem, you're right, it can be from elsewhere in Sumatra, I just look at the website.
