I have seen this dapur before on many ocassions, but i am afraid i have very little information on it's purpose or meaning. I do not, however, believe that this form was created with the intention of it ever being presented as a spear. Many of the examples i have seen have been obviously revision pieces cut from old keris. I have only ever seen them in photographs and have never handled one, but perhaps some of our more learned forumites know more about them.
Would you mind sharing with us what your duties at kraton ceremonies are?
