Holstein Collection
 
A request from a new member.I have read of the P Holstein Collection,which consisted of edged weapons from India,Malaya,and Indonesia collected in the late 19th century.
M Holstein was born in 1843 and died in 1930.He aparantly started collecting after the Franco Prussian War in the 1870s,and his collection was located in Paris.I have a catalogue of his collection,in the French language,illustrating many keris and weapons from India.
I first posted this query on the keris forum,and recieved one reply from member Michael who kindly advised that he had 2 pieces from the Holstein Collection.
My query is whether anyone knows what happened to the collection,was it sold or part of it sold.Or are parts of the collection still in a museum somewhere?
The catalogue is a photocopy sold by Ken Trotman Books.
