IMPRESSIVE COLLECTIONS AND DISPLAYS. ITS GOOD TO SEE OTHERS LIVE IN A MUSEUM TOO
I THINK I HAVE SEEN ONE OF THE SHIELDS LIKE THE ONE STARTING THE POST IN THE MISSOURI HISTORY MUSEUM IN ST LOUIS MISSOURI. IT WAS MADE FOR THE PHILIPPINE EXHIBIT AT THE WORLDS FAIR/ LOUSIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION IN 1904. THERE WAS A LOT OF INTREST IN THE PHILIPPINES AT THE TIME DUE TO IT BEING A NEW TERRITORY AND THE WAR FOUGHT THERE.
THERE WAS SAID TO BE A LARGE EXHIBIT OF PHILIPPINE WEAPONS CAPTURED DURING THE SPANISH AMERICAN AND FOLLOWING WAR IN THE PHILIPPINES. I HAVE SOME ITEMS SAID TO COME FROM THIS EXHIBIT. THE EXHIBIT WAS FROM THE GENERAL HARRY H. BANDHOLTZ COLLECTION OF WEAPONS TAKEN DURING HIS STAY IN THE PHILIPPINES. I HAVE TRIED TO FIND PICTURES OF THIS DISPLAY BUT HAVE FAILED. PERHAPS A MEMBER FROM ST. LOUIS CAN FIND OUT MORE.
THE BEST I CAN DO IS THIS PICTURE OF THE SAMAL MORO ,VILLAGE EXHIBIT 1904
