Listing description

Product description

Lot: Traditional wooden‑shaft spear, 112 cm overall, with a tapering metal spearhead and fur‑wrapped grip. Inspection confirms a solidly fixed metal head and a straight wooden shaft; the blade shows surface rust and pitting but was assessed as still holding an edge. The grip is wrapped in real fur, intact and braided onto the shaft.

This piece will suit collectors of traditional/ethnic arms, set dressers, prop houses or anyone seeking an authentic display or restoration project. It presents well for decorative mounting, museum or educational display, or light conservation work — a genuine rustic spear with clear patina and handling evidence.

  • Included: One single spear as pictured (metal spearhead, wooden shaft, fur wrap).
  • Condition: Used — wooden shaft in good condition with surface wear; metal spearhead rusty and pitted; fur wrap present and intact with light wear.
  • Measurements: Overall length 112 cm (tip of spearhead to end of shaft).
  • Working status / attachment: Metal spearhead reported secure to shaft (visual inspection).
  • Known faults: Rust and surface pitting to the blade; surface wear and soiling to fur wrap; general patina and oxidation consistent with age/use. No maker marks or provenance supplied.
