What is this?

[Regtop]

Dear reader,

I'm new at this forum and I hope this is the right place to open this topic (if it's not, please let me know, perhaps with a suggestion on where I can ask my question).

For a month ago I purchased (not a detector find) the following item: http://s255.photobucket.com/albums/hh122/Navonamin/

(I use the link because of the 'volume' of the photo's).

Additional information:

Finding location: Cieurac (Cieurac near Souillac, (Dordogne) France)
Lenght: 45 cm

Does anyone have the slightest idea what it might be?

Greetings,

To me it looks like a crudely made iron dagger.

Perhaps it was a device for pithing large animals.

Certainly looks like a poking device of some kind.
