1920s-30s long drape collars - post your pics and help with terminology

Can someone clue me in on the correct way to describe the narrow, long pointy collars of the 1920-30s with a very narrow spread? I'm not sure if "spearpoint" is exactly accurate for the style i'm interested in. If you take a look at this picture of a 1930s era workwear shirt, you'll notice that the middle (inside) edge of the collar is fairly straight, not curved. I could be wrong but "spearpoint" collars have a curve to them, is that right?

Anyway, I'd like for some of you gents to post some pics and help me sort these out.

I think the part in the middle is straight on spearpoint collars too. I have only seen very few (european) shirts that have a curve on the inside too or a rather organic shape altogether... I call it a teardrop shape. (Not an official name.)

When you oder a spearpoint collar from luxire, darcy or vecona you will get a shape similar to the one in the picture.
