Also a great lance Danny! Again congratulations.
Keep those two spears together with that provenance.
It would be a pity to part them (or part them with me only

).
Unfortunately there was a lot more, which we didn't catch... :-(

At least it is good to know that all these items are not touched by collectors during the years, cause it is coming from the heirs of the commissioner, Henri de Chauvigny de Blot, who took it to the Netherlands in 1902.
It seemed that these stuff was on the attic for decades...always great to catch something from the Dutch attics out of old collections!

Regards,
Maurice
