I forgot to mention ...

Paolo, I am optimistic that we in the private sector can do a lot to support the Phil National Museum (PNM) , especially in the area of inventory management, preservation and storage. A parallel goal I had in mind was to provide PNM the digitial images of its weapons inventory, which the institution can use for their electronic database. This is pro-bono work. As you could imagine, there are many other areas where we can help. We can probably work with the other museum volunteers to ren wax those blades

I'll be the first one to donate 2 liters.

That's a good idea Nonoy.

I'm very glad to hear that at least half of the Bandholtz collection found its way home .

Agreed. There is quite a bit of work to be done. Good to know there are others interested in doing this kind of thing. The museum could use a a hand with adding some information to the displays, i'm not the "expert" to do it, but the information found in this forum alone could really take the exhibit up a few notches.

There is also an on-going exhibit at the Yuchenco Museum on "SULU". 5 Moro armors, several lantakas and maybe 15 moro swords (all with ivory pommels). The brass armor with arabic inscriptions, which is the subject of one of the threads, is on display.

Wonderful! I would love to see this exhibit.

The Moro armor with the inscription is copper, not brass. I have held the piece.

Bill,

Yes, you are right. The moro armor with inscriptions is copper.
