Sadly, I would be fairly sure this is cut down. But still, a great spear head. Hopefully someone can provide an exact ID.
Rich, a really good spear head you have there and A very nice reference point Iain.
Although different again here is another spear of mine, it too uses brass washers either side of the pins.
There is also a very fine lizard skin remaining under the socket, very unusual I thought.
I thought mine was Somali though but I have not yet put much time in to the African spears here.
