Beautiful spear! It's n great condition! Wonder what a clean up of the blade would revile. Thanks for sharing! I'll be interested to see what other info other forum members will add

for a miniature it looks quite nicely detailed. getting all that detail into less than an inch is difficult

Very nice spear. Congratulations. And that with that great provenance!!!! ![]() Are you sure you would etch it with warangan? Why don't you leave it, or give it a slicely etch with lemonjuice or hot vinegar? Rg, Maurice |

It's a rencong, simple but genuine! The rencong needs some cleaning, the blade is rusted, and I'm looking forward to start with the work. I decided to make a thread of it. Maybe some more pieces of this collection will show up here later on.... http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=13559 Last edited by Maurice; 26th March 2011 at 09:21 PM. |
