Hello friends, very beautiful spears!
 Hello Lew your spear don't seems to me Tuareg. The spear of Tim is tipical Tuareg, yours could be from other region like East Africa or Sudanese like Tim says. Anyway great piece!! |

Hi Guys
Thanks for the input. The reason I thought it was Tuareg is that Artzi has one listed on his website and mine is a dead ringer compared to his. http://www.oriental-arms.co.il/item.php?id=1713 Lew |

I think Tim is right. It looks more Sudanese to me, too.

Hello Jim, Lew is right. From the same source some Fulani (north Nigeria - south Niger) guys with tuareg like spears and swords.
