YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR THE BOOK
MAORI WEAPONS in Pre-european New Zealand, by Jeff Evans

IT COVERS THE PATA/MERE AND MOST OTHER FORMS OF MAORI WEAPONS, ITS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE BOOK ON MAORI WEAPONS I HAVE. NOT A VERY BIG BOOK AT 70 PAGES BUT GOOD INFORMATION WITH LITTLE FLUFF. IT DOES GIVE FIGHTING TECKNIQUE AS WELL AS DESCRIPTIONS AND INFORMATION ON VARIOUS FORMS OF MAORI WEAPONS.
I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET A REAL OLD MAORI MERE FROM NEW ZEALAND QUITE A FEW YEARS AGO SO DON'T GIVE UP LOOKING BUT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH A RECENT WELL MADE JADE ONE FROM ELSEWHERE AS THE MANA COMES FROM THE MAKER AND THE OWNER AND IF ITS MADE PROPERLY AND OF STONE IT WILL DO.
MY JADE MERE DOES GET A GOOD POLISHING BY HAND AS I ENJOY HANDELING IT, GOOD FOR MEDITATION AND DOSEN'T MAKE ME FEEL THE LEAST LITTLE BIT WARLIKE
