Below is a picture of a Khanda hilt, the Koftgari designs are very similar to the visible 'ghosting' marks I can see in the spear head.

Would these designs be common to certain areas of India, or groups or are they fairly common ?

Regards David

Wow! David, your spear top looks almost identical in shape and size to the one I bought. Do you think my pike was built in the same area or timeframe as the one you have? If so, any idea as to when / where it was made?

VERY interesting....
