Thanks very much for the info Jens and Ham. That is indeed regretful news about Skafte. While his prices were often pretty staggering, he also typically had some of the most esoteric and hard to find references, and I am grateful to him for providing those resources even if expen$ive!!
All the best,
Jim

I've been informed that Steen Strømberg, Danish collector and dealer, has passed. I don't know exactly when. Most of the collection went through Bonhams.

Skafte passed away appr. 12 years ago. I had the opportunity to buy some books from his daughter and she told me, that his collection of Indonesia weapons has been sold as well.
