Kronckew thank you for the picture - this is the iklwa I was trying to describe to my friend.

Thank you everyone else. Not my area so I wanted to know where it came from.

I will show this thread to my friend.

lots of other info available on zulu arms and the zulu wars here on the forum (via search).

So, in Ripley's Believe it or not museum I guess this must fall under the 'not' category.

I'm struck by the resemblance of this spearhead to a pair of shears.
