Spear question

I've seen this spear in my local antique mall. It's about 5' long, has a hand-forged point and a flat cutting edge on the other end.

Is this anything interesting?

Thanks everyone.

 

That blanket looks interesting behind it.Sorry no help w/ the spear here-be nice if it was something John Brown's party carried at Harpers Ferry or a Zulu piece from Rorke's Drift.

 

Those would be nice!

 

The top spear looks like it was cast and not forged,is it magnetic?

 

Not sure. I don't have it in hand.

Thanks for the comment.

 

the Zulu prefer a one sided spear, but the Maasai use a 2 sided spear.
it's usually much longer.....for protection against lions in the bush...

this looks like a tourist made work rather than a vintage authentic one.... imo

 

Perfect. Thank you for the help.

 

if it's got a blade............ I'm on it !!

& yes...I have been known to throw myself....on my sword !!

hehehehehe!!!!!!!!!!

 

still, it's a nice wall hanger....at a reasonable price !!

 

Yeah thanks again. Spears on the wall will probably have to be the basement man cave... so at $35 I'll probably pass.

 

Late to the party, but since it is cast, I wonder if it is one of those curtain rail finials.
