Default Help identifying 2 spears please

Hi
I added the two attached spears to my collection, they came with a mixed bag of items, I purchased a nice Tulwar (that was the item I wanted) and the spears came in the package along with some other stuff.
Only one was complete with head, and both have end spikes.

Does anyone know where these might be from

Length overall 63 inches, head is 9 inches and the staff is 1 and 3/4 inch diameter.

Very hefty and I do not imagine they would be suitable for throwing
Four thick leather bands on the shaft with weaving decoration on the bands
The hide is wrapped around shaft and stitched closed

The spear head has some forging flaws but is very sharp and rudimentary decoration on both sides. The head has a square tang and seems to be a friction fit into the shaft

The spikes at the opposing ends are not particularly sharp but reasonably substantial.

Any information appreciated

Regards

Ken
