Greetings,

It has been a real slow start to the year for me due to a motor cycle accident at the start of January but I haven't been totally inactive.

Both in stock and arriving shortly are many fine and interesting things.

A sample of what's to come;

There are approx another 50 spears. These include many African examples, English military, French Indo Chinese, a Sumpitan, Sumatran spears, Javanese and surrounding areas.
There are also a good variety of shields. These include Dhal both hide and steel, Sudanese types, Turkana, Vietnamese.

For those who missed the outstanding article about Hudiedao in the forum, I'll look to link Benjamin Judkins ongoing Chinese studies to my site shortly too. A quick search under Benjamin will lead you to his Kukri studies too, well worth the read.

If I can help in anyway, please ask, the door is always open.

Best regards
