Ofcourse its your piece but 'in the name of all nice 19th cent. blades' hope you'l think twice before dipping it into hot acid/vinegar.
Seems like your getting a quite nice Moluc/Philippine collection together! Interesting (unique?) combination!

Hi Wouter,
like usual I will first have a look if I can see any traces of a lamination before I will etch it.
It is not only a Moluccas/Philippine collection but a Indonesian/Philippine collection!
