Philippine Spearhead?

Actually my Mandaya spearhead and the one that I sold recently both have tangs.

I have two socketed ones but I think they may be the exception rather than the rule.
Are you sure the socketed examples you've seen are not just ferruled?
Sometimes it's hard to tell from an old picture; or have you seen them IRL like in a museum.
