ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This is a larger sized version of the Zulu stabbing spear that comes from Swaziland in Southern Africa. The Swazi were an offshoot of the Zulu and adopted many of their customs and weapons. This has the cowhide tail wrapping securing the shaft of the spear that is unique to the Swazi. This beautifully crafted piece measure 60 overall with a17 top iron section and a razor sharp 15 blade. The last 5.5 of the shaft features a palm swell that is thicker than the rest of it to provide a better grip during extraction. We estimate this piece dates back to approximately 1850 and possibly older. This outstanding piece most likely saw battle during one of the many conflicts of the day. These are much rarer than the more commonly seen stabbing spears made by the Zulu.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This has a heavy steel blade, a counterweighted shaft and a decorative accent near the bottom. We estimate this is at least 75 years old. It measures 52 overall with a 23 iron top section and a 9 leaf shaped blade that has been sharpened in recent times. The shaft has a small nail hole in it where it was displayed on a wall and the extensive iron banding on the shaft is in great shape. This spear would be worth almost twice as much if it were not for the recent sharpening and nail hole.
