Spear No2 for I.D. Please

This is a classic Sudanese broaded bladed spear and from the looks of it, it has good legit age that could date it to the 19th century. I would think it is certainly no more recent than very early 20th century.

Hi Charles,
Many thanks for the prompt reply. Mahdist bringbacks are not uncommon here so you may very well have hit the nail on the head. Thanks again.
My Regards,
Norman.

The dealer who had this on his website a year ago , had it listed as Sudanese. He didn't list the other spear...
