Thanks Colin, but that does not necessarily mean that they are Yemeni/Arabian by origin. I am not trying to throw cold water on the origin of your spears but most reference (and pics) posted here seems to relate to lances rather than spears.
As you will probably note, the link to the old post regarding these spears was started by me several years ago (2010), and virtually nothing surfaced at that time, except for some details of lances.
It is nice to see that this time there is some constructive discussion.
