Default Head Spear 2

Dear members ,
I would like to submit you a lot I bought during an auction coming from Baron von Hochstetter collection , Düsseldorf.
I am more keris collector orientated and know nothing about spears so would be happy to understand a little bit more on the origin of these head spears .
Looks like possible different origins ( Aceh ? Sulu Archipelago ? Sumatra ... )

From Top to hilt > 280 mm

Thanking you for your comments ....
Henri

Well I would say Indonesian, but let others pin it down better.

Thank you Battara for your replies .
For this spear I found a thread the 30th March 2011 where Asomotif
presented 2 spears with one very similar to this one ... and origin Atjeh and
also a photo of a lot of 4 spears with again one very similar from the Kelling hall .
So, may be Atjeh ?????
