But from which country / which producer. any suggestions ?

Best regards,

Hi Willem, It is looking like India, they used the P/1868 &, comparing it with my two 1915 Enfield made P/1868 lances, if it were English made I think the markings would be different & the boot more pointed. Also it has an Indian (?) numeral engraved on it in one photo.

In another photo I can see that you have a unit marking ??L C 35 by the look of it, this should represent ?????? ?????? Lancers C troop, No. 35.
Can you please post a crystal clear photo of this marking?

As others have noted, male bamboo is solid. The approved P/1868 Lance is 9 foot exactly overall, which includes the head of 12 5/8 inches & boot of 6 13/16 inches.
