Igorot Spear Before And After

As usual when I wanted to take these pictures it was raining here so I had to take them inside and the flash is what makes everything look lighter in color.

Hello Robert,

good that the pin is there, never have seen Igorot spears without this pin. And yes, I know this rain and flash problem, the more shiny one I have shown is in real also much darker.
Again, very good work and a nice spear!

Regards,

Detlef
