Another Moro Spear to Examine

Well like we thought, no twist core, but still nice Charles.

David - I would love to see yours etched.

David,

I think both the shape and the chiseling on your example are superior to mine. I agree with Jose that an etch might bring out something very interesting.

Charles,

nice complete spear! I like it and hope that I will be able to add one day a Moro spear to my collection!

David,

agree with Jose and Charles, please etch it!

It's a very nice spear.

Regards,
Detlef

I only ever etched Moro blades with vinegar. Any other suggestions out there for best results?

This kris: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...highlight=kris from my collection with similar lamination like Charles spear point was etched also with vinegar. But I know that blades sometimes don't react by vinegar.
