			What a fantastic thread this has turned out to be.  Detlef, I have just noticed your Prince Alexander Mountians dagger.  Very helpful as I have this staff that needed some sort of identification.  I do not think it is a tourist piece as when I got it, it was covered in a red powder {red ochre} like red powder paint.  You could not touch it without getting the powder all over yourself, not what a holiday maker wants?  It is not the first item from PNG that I have covered in red powder.  I have a pumice stone club that is also very messy to touch.  You can see I removed the powder on this staff.  A wife and a very messy red powder staining silly man thing do not mix
