    After seeing Woodsheals, I'm embarrassed to show mine!

    I have seen paintings that show targes with the center spike on there (from Culloden).
    I have also seen older examples up for auction (which could have been fake) that also had the spike in there.
    Yet, there are people who insist that having a spike on there is not authentic?
    Which is the accurate statement?

    Center targe spikes are authentic, just EXTREMELY rare! Of all the original targes still in existence, I understand that only 2 have provisions for a screw-in spike....
