Lajinaa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Lajinaa was a small spear used mostly by Spaniard pirates who raided trade ships in the gulf coast. It's shape allowed it to be used in close range battles or thrown as a long range weapon. In the early 1800's they were made with clips on the side under the blade so they could be shot as arrows.
