hahah come on,, the maoris are ok,, some are a little prone to crime ,
the most are pretty decent,
anyway who the hell would shear all the sheep in australia and work in the slaughter houses if they all didnt come over and do it??
,
actualy my father had several green stone mere and other maori weapons..
i beleve before he left new zealand for australia he gave most of them away , i think he gave the clubs/hatchets.. (seems the maori word translates more to be hatchet anyway) to a maori chap he new living around poto, think he traded him them for some sculptures...
a pity, i wouldnt have minded having them
i had at a time a damaged wooden patu,, chipped alot,, and also a nice condition maori fighting adze.. ( i would presume if was for fighting as it has a thin steel blade,, and the edge was sharpened on the outer side,, also it had a lanyard.. nicely carved handle) got it for 30$!!!. looked mid of the 19th century
also havd a chance to buy a moari axe,, was a english trade blade with a curved maori handle,, and a carved .22 rim fire rifle from the 19th centuary, have maori carving all over it was a winchester .22 short..
there was a a south east asian knife with maori carving with it as well proably a bringback from ww1 or ww2.. ,
guy waned something crazy like 200$ for the lot... !!.
:S,, well at the time i had other things i was chasing..
