Classic case of foot in mouth disease. The illustrations of spears from Samoa look just like this. I've struck out trying to find a live version of one of those, but that's my bet. Meant east, said west, call me an ijit.

Best,

This is what you are thinking of. Again I see this as a very different weapon even if used as a lance rather than a spear to throw. The spike and barbs on the item I have would make a ineffective lance, The point is far too rounded and as you can see on a human scale it massive in the hand.
