Nice Old Tuareg Spear?

[thinreadline]

This is an example of a similar spear / lance from my own collection .. I always had it down as Sudanese , but would also welcome opinions .
It is 190 cm long , blade inc socket is 50 cm with the greatest blade length being 9 cm . The butt is a flattened almost fish tail shape .

I would say yes Sudanese for sure.

Nice pieces, I purchased these a little while back. Picture from the sale.

Thanks Rich,

The top one will find a new home in the coming months, however the spear and shield make for a very dramatic display in the dining room.

It is strange the ways in Slacks Creek...I can only put two swords in the dining room but all the shields and spear I can muster can line the walls in the common areas....it seems she who must be obeyed likes spears and never stops telling me either....
