I COULDN'T FIND ANY PICTURES OF EDGED WEAPONS FROM MADAGASCAR BUT GIVEN THE AREAS HISTORY IT IS NO TELLING WHAT YOU MIGHT FIND THERE. MANY DIFFERENT COUNTRYS HAVE BEEN INVOLVED THERE AND IMIGRATED OVER TIME QUEEN RANAVALONA WAS JUSTLY FAMOUS AS A REAL TERROR ALONG THE LINES OF POL POT OF CAMBODIA. THE MENABE TRIBE HAS MOST OF THE POWER BUT THERE WERE OTHER TRIBAL GROUPS SOME OF WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED BY RAVNALONA? ADVISE YOUR FRIENDS TO READ UP ON THE AREA WELL AND LOOK OUT AS THEFT IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM IN THE BIG CITYS.
I READ AN INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF A BIOLOGIST WHO WAS OVER THERE STUDYIENG CHAMELION LIZZARDS (THERE ARE MORE DIFFERENT SPECIES THERE THAN IN THE REST OF THE WORLD) HE HAD SEVERAL LIVE SPECIMINS ON BRANCHES SUSPENDED FROM THE CELING OF HIS HOTEL ROOM FOR STUDY AND TO PHOTOGRAPH. WHILE HE WAS OUT THEIVES BROKE INTO HIS ROOM AND WOULD HAVE CLEANED HIM OUT ,BUT THE CHAMELION IS FEARED AND CONSIDERED VERY BAD LUCK THERE SO WHEN THEY TURNED ON THE LIGHTS AND SAW ALL OF THEM THEY COULD NOT GET OUT FAST ENOUGH. PERHAPS A PET CHAMELION MIGHT COME IN HANDY
PERHAPS YOU CAN SHOW YOUR COLLECTION TO YOUR FRIENDS AND THAT WILL GIVE THEM AN IDEA OF WHAT YOU LIKE, WHATS OLD AND WHATS TOURIST AND APPROX PRICE YOU WOULD PAY. GOOD LUCK
