oz-eshowcase is so right it is a realy great web site, I too am a new collector and there are too few gallery type web sites that are so user friendly, many of them
seem to act like a secret society,
really look foward to seeing advice
re the things like provenance and
information about how to care for
store and display the older wooden
items

hello I am located in paris english sometimes not the best. Pardon for that. I have visited your site and have been disappointed to find there is not prices i understand the nature of business, but it does make it hard to know outlay for mulitple items for a collection if there is no price guides.

I have a genuine Bow and Arrow set from the New Guinea highlands that was given to my husband and myself in 1993 while we were living in PNG. I would be interested in selling but do not know how to go about it. The bow has 2 string attachments and 16 arrows all with the genuine detachable hunting/war heads on them. I can send photos if you are interested.
