REGARDLESS OF ALL THE STORYS AND POSSIBLE INCORRECT INFORMATION IT IS A VERY COOL LOOKING SPEAR TIP

THE WORKMANSHIP ON THE TRISTULA IS ALSO VERY NICELY DONE, I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL VERY NICE ORNATE INDONESIAN SPEAR POINTS AT THE SHOW IN TIMONIUM, ARE THEY MOSTLY MADE IN MADURA OR ARE THEY ALSO MADE IN JAVA, BALI AND OTHER AREAS?
I HAVE A EXAMPLE THAT I GOT ON AMBON ISLAND IN THE MOLUCCAS IT IS SAID TO HAVE BELONGED TO THE RAJAH NAULU OF CERAM. I WILL TRY AND FIND IT AND TAKE A PICTURE. I DON'T KNOW IF THE STORY IS TRUE OR NOT BUT IT IS A NICE ITEM AND I HAD FUN BARGINING FOR IT ,BUT THAT IS ANOTHER STORY

Yes this is a beautiful puppy (woof!

). I have seen a couple of these at Timonium and other places. My question is similar to those of you who have posted earlier: how can one tell if it is Majapahit or recent?
