A hunting lance ... and a hook

These are indeed rustic pieces. It all indicates they are Portuguese; they were acquired in a local regional fair. Both pieces came together and the sockets have similar construction; no reason do reject this is a working set. The strong hook is said (by its seller) to be used to drag the game when abated. Do you guys find this plausible?
Would i be far from the truth to date these things as from the 18th century?
Thanks for your comments.
