Congratulations Daniel, as the owner of one of Michael's spears I will say that you will be very impressed with it.
Congratulations on winning an awesome spearhead! :D
Congratulations Daniel and let us know what you think of the spear head when you get it. ;) :cool:
I could " gush " again about how great it is but then I just finished a long series of post " bumpings " where I talked everybody's ears off about donating and how nice this spear head is. ;)

And he just keeps going, even if its realy subtle. :p
Congratulations Daniel, hope you put that nice spearhead on a shaft and show us a nice looking spear.
Really surprised and extremely pleased to win such an item.
The work appears to be so clean and crisp , beautifully simple, and the photos probably don't do it justice. Pretty excited and very anxious to see the spear "in person" and have my white gloves at the ready.
Jean, I really appreciate your generosity and promise to be a good custodian!.
Regards to all,
Dan

Well glad it's going to a good home and to someone who will appreciate it. ;) :D :cool: ( Although most people who frequent
" myArmoury " would be likely to appreciate it's quality ).
I won't say that giving is better than receiving but it's at least as good. :D
Congratulations, Daniel. Looks like a really nice spear, I hope you enjoy it!

My compliments, Daniel
I completely agree.
Michael lines are very clean. I like very much.
Greetings,
The spear arrived yesterday. The photos give only a slight hint as to what it like "in the flesh." The beautiful flawless satin finish is really accented by the faceted surfaces. The piece measures 13.5'' X 2.25" and looks like it would be light, but it is very hefty. Have already discarded the idea of mounting it on a shaft; just couldn't do it justice.
Michael, my compliment to you for a very good product.
And again, thanks to Jean for his generosity.

Well, very glad you like it and I did keep on and on and on repeating how nice mine is and even better than the excellent spear head it looks to be in the pics.
Daniel: I agree that it's nice enough that mounting it and doing it justice may be challenging, but you could mount it semi permanently by just fitting it tightly as a pressure fit is almost good enough without adding any adhesive if the fit is precise.
A small nail on each side added for safety that could be removed easily ( Or tiny screws maybe ? Not historical but this way you could mount it and get the feel of it as a using spear but take the head off and display it in it's nice box most of the time ).
