Twistcore Moro spear with provenance, collected in 1872!

Here images of the cleaned budiak blade, which I am really proud of to have in my collection!

Oh, and if anybody has additional info about captain Chimmo and his trip to the Sulu archipellago, don't forget to let me know....

Here's a view of the chart.

David, that is great to see two images of the ship of Chimmo.
One in calm weather, and one in heavy weather!
Where did you find it, also in the australian library somewhere?

Thank you for posting these images, also the great map!

An image of the captain himself would also be very nice...

Kind Regards,
Maurice

Hi Maurice. Really, these are just simple google searches. Can't find any images of the good Capt., but here is a short biographical write up on him.

Very nice and restrained clean-up of a fabulous old spear. It is so fortunate to have the provenance, as it is nice to have a better idea of where and when the different variations we see have arisen.
