Default Wow !!!! Zulu ? I don't think so....

Just finished on eBay. Cannot believe the price I think the buyer could be in for a shock Unless of course ...I missed something ...

The shafts are squared in cross section, never seen that on a Zulu spear and they are socketted as well.

Zulu seems to be a magic word. They could be Ngoni that may explain why they went so high. I am not an expert but there is quite a gulf between the two. The price was crazy what ever, in my opinion. I have bought massive whole war spears for less.

They look more like north african Somali maybe similar to that spear septre thing I have hilts seem to be covered in monitor lizard skin. Notice the bidders names were kept private so the red flag should have gone up on this auction immediately.
