Madagascar - yes, you've scored a direct hit ! Looking for "Madagscar spear" on Google comes up with a spear-collectors site that comments "The warriors carried elaborate spears, which remind on Tuareg or Bornu spears with copper and brass inlay and a flat spear shoe. The shaft is from two tone hardwood". Also, checking the British Museum online database reveals a few images of Madagascar spears that are identical to this one.
Many thanks to all for their thoughts and comments
