Can anyone offer advice as to where I can go to get an identification and valuation of a set of Native (maybe African or Asian) bow and arrows. The bow looks like bamboo and the arrow shafts too and they are wound with decorative threads. The arrow heads are probably iron because they are rusty and they have multiple sharp edges. The arrows are in a dry hide pouch.

Anyone got any ideas as to who could identify them?

(I am guessing from your email address that you are based in the UK)

Your local museum in the first instance. Or the British Museum. Or one of the many galleries given over to such things. Your local library will advise you.

Arf! Arf!
