Miniatures photo from Moro Swords

[JeffS]

Hello. Does anyone have a better quality scanned version of the following image from page 88 of Moro Swords by Robert Cato that I can use for reference? As you can see the one I have is difficult to make out details.

"Moro weapons plaques" are common, google that phrase and select 'images' and there are plenty of examples in larger sizes very similar to the page you scanned.

Indeed, I've been looking at a number of them. The red one on left, from Cato's book, seems to have more detail and variety than most.

I couldn't find that one either


p.s.- Moroland didn't enter my mind....Not a label i've used before. 'Moro' is included in the text 'Moroland' and should have been included in google's efforts. 'of' is unecessary in a search, too short. The singular 'plaque' may give more as my query was for a pair as in Cato's book. Google of course gave me singles anyway. Google is not necessarily the best search engine, just the most popular at the moment. I even tried just 'weapon plaque' and 'sword plaque' and a few other terms - looking for that smaller red one before giving up.

A "Moroland" plaque like the right one still hang in my child's room. I will take photos when I visit my parents.

I have founds a couple examples like the red version which are fabric covered which look older. Seems to be be long tradition of making these. I would still like to get a better look at the one in Cato's book if anyone happens to have a decent scan of it.

While i definitely agree with you that these are plentiful, the phrase "Moro weapons plaques" actually does not yield good Google results. The keywords that give better result are "weapons of moroland plaque".
