			Very interesting Martin. The pattern in the bronze certainly appears on Vere daggers but I have also seen it on other groups as well. Thanks for sharing.

			Hi Martin, 
		
		
		
			To bring this old thread back to life, I received today this lance head which is like the one you showed. Only mine is smaller at 67cm. Blade design is similar, interestingly mine has a little leather scabbard, not a feature I saw before.  |

			I found few images from a parade in Ngaoundere in Cameroon which show similar scabbards on spears.
