    To bad my father in law isn't here anymore. He most likely could have told more about it. Lived there for years.

    Ditto. A PNG ceremonial spear, probably.

    Some on that photo look like ceremonial spears from the Tiwi Islands of northern Australia btw, so it could be a mixed lot. For instance, the one with barbs on one side looks like a Tiwi male spear (female ones have barbs on both sides).
