Hello i also think this is a boar spear.

If you search for "Saufeder" (that's the german term) you will find a lot of examples.
btw. the typical Saufeder has no metal bars but a piece of antler fixated with a leather wrap just below the metal fitting.
At this position the wood of the presented spear seem to be roughened as to provide better grip for such a leather wrap.

Best Regards
Thilo
