Actually not. Modern gold plating is a very thin microscopic veneer of gold layer. I consider overlay an actual sheet of gold (obviously much thicker) that is placed on top. You may want to ask the jeweler to clarify what he/she means by "plating". A good question.

I have been given permission by Lonna, Dave's boss (sorry Dave but I have
to tell it like it is

), to post a couple of photos of their marvelous display. Sorry folks none of these items are for sale, believe me I tried many times. I get the same answer "maybe in the near future but not now".
This is only a small portion of their display. Somehow I misplaced the other photos. This will give you an idea of what they have. They have great knowledge on ethnographic arms and armor. If you have any questions or just to discuss what you have feel free to contact them at mycuriousthings@aol.com.

Even the two with the "Persian" handles are Moro? Any chance to see the entire swords?
Especially the last one, with the T-spine.

Dave and Lonna collect from many different areas besides Moro. I don't remember much about the individual pieces as I was overwhelmed by the beauty and power of their collection.

It is one chill after another to handle pieces of this quality!

This was not a formal picture shoot. They were just handing me pieces and I was taking pictures. The grey background you see was the hood of their van. The blue background was a towel. I will look through my pictures and see where the "T" Spine is and see if there is an overall of it.
