As we enter the last month of the year I thought I might just offer a short review of the years collecting.
First a big thank you to Staff and moderators thier enthusiasm make this site possible. Thank you.
Secondly I have acquired one or two nice things in the year but I have also made four terrible errors of judgement in the blind search for a bargain. If we are all honest, we like to think we know a thing or two about ethnographic weapons, enough to make a fool of our selves at times. I am happy to share these errors, two quite costly, if others are interested and might possibly own up to thier bad moments. The errors I have made are comically unforgivable and I should have known better.
