In form, these are real Khmer spears.
But I do not like how the blacksmith designed the place between the spear blade and the shank. Very roughly made sleeve on the spear shaft. My humble opinion is that the spear was made not by Khmer blacksmiths, but by some of the small mountain peoples. For drac2k - maybe it was made somewhere in the mountains on the border of North Vietnam. |

While form #5 closely resembles the spears shown, it is substantially different as it appears to have a socket, whereas the one in question does not; that being said, I'm sure that there are many cross-influences in that general region. Ren, I believe that you are correct that it could be from North Vietnam

A few photos of the highlanders with spears.
The first photo from South Vietnam (Lang Bian mountains in Lām Đồng province). |
