Hi Tim,
I'm not certain whether you mean the seller or the buyer was the lucky one. I personally think the seller.....the spear looks to be 20c and the binding 'suspect'. I followed this and was not surprised at the final price....if you put "zulu" and 19C in your listing, the price usually ends high...I've seen Masai spears, Seme, West African (knives and swords) and socketted spears all stated as Zulu 19C. Nearly all seem to command much higher prices than they should. I used to e-mail the seller to let them know (to help them prevent feedback issues with the eventual buyer) ....waste of time...the majority, it seems, deliberately mis-represent their items.

I agree with katana the spear looks early 20th century and anyone can claim it's from 1879 and brought back by a veteran my Zulu axe was also picked up on the battle field at Roukes Drift
