<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 10061707, member: 45&quot;]I&#039;ve collected bows and arrows forever, even brought some home by airplane, as &quot;carry-ons&quot; (before there were rules against it), from Australia to U.S.&nbsp; Based on my collection, I&#039;d say the ones with carved wood tips (especially the ones 6th and 8th from the left, in the second photo) are from New Guinea or the Solomon Islands.&nbsp; Here&#039;s a Bonhams Skinner website:&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="https://www.bonhams.com/auction/29566/lot/22/a-collection-of-new-guinea-and-solomon-islands-arrows-lg-from-47-to-70-in/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.bonhams.com/auction/29566/lot/22/a-collection-of-new-guinea-and-solomon-islands-arrows-lg-from-47-to-70-in/" rel="nofollow">https://www.bonhams.com/auction/29566/lot/22/a-collection-of-new-guinea-and-solomon-islands-arrows-lg-from-47-to-70-in/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Arrows from that area are distinctive, and I&#039;ve never seen older arrows from there, made with metal tips.</p><p><br /></p><p>The others are probably African, or newer ones from Asia. As to the use of bamboo, it is a fairly common material, used wherever it is grown.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
