P.S. Point of Balance is 26 1/2 inches from the tip.

Thats lovely, doesn't look Maasai close up. In fact I wonder if it might not be African at all.
I'm trying to think of uses for this type of weapon and go from there.
Long and thin...
To pierce very deeply as in a harpoon for animals with blubber or lance for bison etc?
to pierce armour and deform like a roman pilum?

Its a very nice thing, is the copper binding a counterweight to balance it when hefting it to throw and in flight?
