All steel spear for I.D
 
8 Attachment(s)
Yesterday was a spear day. Bought this one as well.

No idea what it is. The only all steel spear I am familiar with is Tuareg.

As you can see it is steel with a small leather sheath over the socket. Very flexible blade and a couple of dangling decorations.

Looks as though it was designed like this and not cut to bring home. Not very long anyway, only 54 inches.

All suggestions welcome

regards
Roy

This is a relatively recent Tuareg spear. I have mainly seen these in the French markets and they are all 20th century and not representative of the true 'allar' lance I'm afraid. :(

Thanks Iain

Pretty much what I expected.
