Spears for discussion

Thanks Gents

Appart from a few very obvious ones, Masaii for instance, it would appear that spears are not particularly easy to identify.
I bought quite a few spears from the same dealer and all the others are very typical of S.E Asia. As ( according to him ) they all came from the same source I will continue to search in that direction.

Tim and Vandoo, yes the blades do look a bit Assam-like and there are photos of Naga spears with woven fibre but I have not seen one in real life.

Colin and Vandoo, I see what you mean about the pattern but I really do not think that they are S.American.

Anyone else got any ideas.
Regards
Roy
