I wonder if the darts can (still) have curare/poison on the tip ??
I will handle them with care when I get them

Yes they could contain poison, because it looks like they have darker (colour) tips (which could indicate they were provided with poison). Sometimes a piece of poison (getting sticky when heated) is kept in the inside of the dartquiver ('tolor') lid.
