That is a very cool arrow. Try Goggling "antique steel fishing points"  Looking forward to reading what you find out.

 A friend has 4 of them with different hammered points, and a forged ax along with a crude bow. The ones he had came from the Congo, and was bought in the thirties or forties. His had Guinea feathers.

MAN!! I'd love to find a cool @$$ arrow like that in an antique store. That thing is awesome. African? Maybe Appalachian, how about a pikeing arrow?

That looks like it would get the job done.  It'd be cool to do a replica of that one, and take it carp fishing >:D.  What did you pick it up for ? If you don't mind me asking ::)
