RSWORD, all I know is the collection came from a gentleman who lived in Seattle, that had passed away, his relatives gave his collection away, and I got it from a broker. There were a lot of Span-Am veterans that came back from the Philippines,to Fort Lewis, south of Seattle. A large amount of sandata's were brought back. Burke Museum has a good collection of Filipino and Moro weapons. Ft. Lewis donated most of them. Sadly it's tucked away in the basement. They rather display Native American basketry. I have nothing against baskets, but it would be nice to display some edged weapons.
Thanks all.
