All metal sper/javelin ?

I have had this in storage for a few years, finally getting some things were I can photograph them. The seller thought this was a javelin but to me it looks like a short spear, it has a rounded end as if for thrusting, and the needle like point would go through mail. The long point is inserted into the shaft similar to some spear heads I have seen. 48.5 in / 123.19 cm long with red and black bands on the end and under the point. Any ideas as to its origin? I was thinking Indian.
