The profile is similar; the Mandaya spears in my collection have blades that are sword thick (1/4") or less; much thinner in cross section than a Moro spear. I really haven't seen enough of these to get much of an opinion on standards . I remember Bill had acquired a beautiful example in the not so distant past . Paging Bill M.
