Thumbs up

Hi Bill,
A very nice score !! Two thumbs up .
Nice crisply executed form, a beauty !
Believe the haft may be palmwood .

Interesting that your example is a tanged head and my pair are socketed .

The lightness in the hand of these spears is remarkable for their great length .

Is that piece ex-Bandholtz perhaps ?

Congratulations !!
