Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - A New Idea re Weapons of Oceania and a Poll

Ian,

I like the idea of “museum” pages for ALL the weapons discussed in the forums.

It is a tremendously difficult undertaking, but the value would be very high. We have many fine books by collectors, curated museums and other sources. An EAAF museum should not duplicate those resources. Pointers and references in the right places is enough.

Re: Oceana, I highly recommend the book shown in the photos. It is not about weapons per se, but provides valuable context for the many objects of art that one might encounter, including weapons.
