Perhaps your spear head was a bit overpolished by its former owner.  |

The photo was taken with flash which tends to give the blade a silvery look but in regular light it has a greyish/blue gun metal look to it. The blade is not polished. I also purchased a very nice Tuereg spear but this time I was able to have the seller take apart the spear for easier and much cheaper shipping will post pics when it arrives.
