Previews...
I just received a nearly-complete Ngbandi stabbing lance from the Central African Republic. I will get to that next week. I also have a workshop-made medieval-type crossbow in the mail (but that will probably have to wait until I get to my other crossbows). I will describe a few Asian spears shortly, and review "Material Culture of the Formosan Aborigines" by Chen Chi-Lu when it shows up in my mailbox. Particularly interested (of course) in Formosan crossbows, arrows, etc. Should be some nice pictures of the Formosan knives with integral handles, like the Northern Philippines hinalung and pinahig knife/spears.
