Question, is it flat on one side? If it is, it could be a French pike head dating to the Revolutionary wars 1790s or a ships boarding pike of up to the mid 19th C.

Hi - the spear head is not flat on one side, it has the same mid-rib both sides.

Probably not a French year II pike then, could still be a boarding pike though, I think.
