I believe this to be an authentic Fijian spear, but would appreciate any thoughts/opinions. It is 68 inches long, but was snapped (in half?), which was common with collectors in the 19th C., to accommodate shipping home. The closest ones I can find are in this page of Fergus Clunie's book Fijian Weapons and Warfare. Thanks.
