Description

BLOW DART GUN FROM PERU AND DART HOLDER EXACT AGE UNKNOWN.
PURCHASED FROM NATIVE BY MY DECEASED BROTHER IN LAW WHILE WORKING FOR AN OIL COMPANY IN PERU AND BROUGHT BACK TO THE STATES.
HE SAID THE NATIVES USED THE DART GUN PRIMARILY FOR HUNTING. HE SAID THEY USED A POISON DART AND ONE OF THEIR PRIMARY FOOD SOURCES WAS MONKEYS WHICH THEY COULD HIT AT A LONGER DISTANCE THAN ONE WOULD THINK.
APPROXIMATE LENGTH-10 ft
BONE TYPE MOUTH PIECE
MY BROTHER IN LAW GAVE THIS ITEM TO ME DURING THE 70’s
A LITTLE BONE IS ATTACHED TO THE DART HOLDER TO SHARPEN THE DART POINTS.
THE DARTS HAVE AN UNKNOWN STAIN ON THE POINTS. SINCE IT’S UNKNOWN WHAT THIS STAIN IS, CAUTION SHOULD BE USED WHEN HANDLING THE DARTS.
A ROUND GOURD TYPE ITEM HOLDS THE WADDING FOR THE DART GUN.
