I have seen these sort of small spears reasonably often in Britain in the past. Most likely they are from the Zimbabwe, (previously Rhodesia/Southern Rhodesia) area, or maybe even further north into Malawi (previously Nyasaland). My guess is that they were made for sale to Europeans... It should be remembered that these areas had quite high European populations in the colonial era, many of whom would be potential purchasers of handy, exotic- looking souvenirs as gifts for relatives in Britain or elsewhere.
Regards.
