Dom,
mon ami extraordinaire! 
haha, thanks for those pics. And thanks for 'Part 2' which is a briefing about Arab weapons in your most beautiful house, including access to your nice library... and not to mention feasting on the best food and wine in Paris
Indeed a man couldn't ask for more!
To all -- I'll post pics later (plus links to hundreds of pics) I took at Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford (a billion thanks, too, for the most kind gentleman who arranged the access, and he knows who he is), plus the pics in British Museum (mostly Indonesian), the Wallace Collection in London (mostly Arab and Indian, on top of the usual European arms), plus some South/Southeast Asia items in the Victoria & Albert Museum (London), and a
lantaka I found in Windsor Castle (which has a documentation on when and where it was captured).
Thanks again to all.
