I hope these pictures can be to some help. Yes there is fairly long langets (28 cm) to attach the shaft.
It have been sugested its a "bannerspear" (dont now the english word)
Shaft has two plugs 40 cm apart, perhaps there has been hooks there.
Plug can be seen on last picture.

Interesting. Perhaps this is indeed a parade "spear" for mounting colors or a flag? The spiked butt end for embedding in the ground.

The way the spear is mounted on the shaft looks european to me either. A spear for a banner is a good possibility, but it could be a plain spear as well. The blade is rather small, maybe to cut better through armor???
