Thanks Bruce,
The latter spear collected 1970s explains some of my thoughts earlier. The seme might well be older than the scabbard hard to tell. It is still a good seme.
I have a couple of spears that I like to think are at least Edwardian I will take some pictures and I think you may see that there is a degree of difference. It will take a day or two. You can use the search facility here.
