Mindanao Spear turned into dagger
I recently got this from an antiques store. A spear head mounted on a hilt.
Some say this might be Maranao, or a lumad spear mounted by a Maranao craftsman. soaked the blade in vinegar overnight, but the rust pits are too deep. i need to sand a bit more to even it out and expose the laminated edge better.
how common are these "transformed" spears?
does it have a new name if the spearhead becomes a dagger?
