Large heavy staff. I did not take notes but I would say it was Admiralty islands. You might need to put some cream on that!

Don't know how you are travelling, but if by car from the UK to Germany, you may want to detour via Leiden in Holland - if their on-line collection is anything to go by, you may not even get to Germany....

Its about 30km north of Rotterdam

Hello. If ever anybody will stumble upon any Philippine object, kindly please post the info in this thread. If I'll have the chance to be in the region one of these days, I'll surely find time to visit those museums. Regards to all!

I have visited the Klingenmuseum in Solingen several times. It is not an etnic museum, but shows an incredible collection on edged tools from all ages / origins. You'll find pieces dating from stone age, luristan, celtic / viking / till modern times. If you're fond of knives, it is a must see!

More info on http://www.klingenmuseum.de/cms/index.php

cheers

Trying out a new PC so I have no idea what this picture is like untill it is post. Mexican stone blade. Very fine work sorry this is the only view I could capture. It is a big blade at the very least 30cm.
