Are these differences somewhere explained here on the forum?
Could you otherwise give us some quick hints about the differences?

Thanks Kino, now I remember the thread again with these loops. However I can't figure out how the construction had been than..
The colour look real brasslike, and I don't think it is from laquer residue, but probably you are right and I am mistaken.
I think we will know after given the spearhead an etch..
