kino, sir thanks for the kind words!
but hey, i'm actually just a dumb tourist
trying to find out what philippine items are in the storage rooms of u.s. museums.
that's a nice
paltik you get there, all right. and the jury-rigged part-real, part-dummy (psy-war) phil-am war rifles we saw are
here and
here.
and while we are at burke museum, here's some more phil. objects --
tabak,
1899 phil. flag,
pira,
kris (nice blade),
kris (a la saber),
wavy kampilan,
leather armor, and a
mysterious object.
