Quote:the 19th-century drawing Laran reproduces did not appear to be accurate, including the two-headed spear, the shield-blazon, and the construction of the armour.

When I first saw that drawing I wondered if Laran had misinterpreted two spears being held together. Do you know if that is what is shown on the extant piece?
