Hi Danny,

Nice toho spear.
It still has a steel butt end which is not very common.
Often they are gone or the shaft is even shortened.

Lot of rattan bands. nice spear.

Best regards,
Willem

hI michael,

it,s nice to be here , good info.

Unfortunaly nobody can answer my question about the toho, the lengt is only 176 cm and i have the idee that it,s not a real old one , i mean before 1915.

when i look at old photo,s from nias wariors the toho spear the caried it,s much longer then 176 or maybe the where realy little ...

Danny
