I would love to have a spear like this with the carved figure. If it were mine I remove the varnish. I have have removed varnish several times on clubs that have cost a pretty penny. The results have been great no damage to the patina once dressed with a little olive oil. Every time I have removed the varnish it has been with heart in mouth. I use a peoduct called "nitromoors paint and varnish remover" The results have been like a trip in a time machine.
