This is outstanding research on this very unusual spear! I have been pretty familiar with lots of Sudanese stuff, but quite honestly have never seen one of these horn types. I thought perhaps a tribal form from other regions as was known during the Mahdiyya with other tribal factions converging in Omdurman as they often brought their own weapon forms.
Very much appreciated to add to notes, and 'head knocker' thanks for posting it!
