I OFTEN ADD ITEMS TO MY COLLECTION BASED ON ITS AESTHETIC APPEAL OR BECAUSE IT IS UNUSUAL OR UNIQUE REGARDLESS OF ITS AGE.
THERE IS AN ADVANTAGE TO COLLECTING MORE RECENT ITEMS ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE IN THE REGION WHERE THEY ARE MADE. YOU HAVE GOOD PROVENANCE AS TO AGE AND WHERE MADE AND MAY EVEN BE ABLE TO MEET THOSE WHO MAKE THEM. THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET AND DISCUSS THIER WORK WITH THEM AND PERHAPS PLACE A SPECIAL ORDER WOULD BE VERY EDUCATIONAL AND ADD TO THE ITEMS WORTH TO YOU PERSONALLY. YOU ARE LUCKY TO BE IN THE AREA WHERE THE THINGS YOU COLLECT ARE MADE AND WILL BE ABLE TO GET GOOD PROVANANCE BUT ALSO A GOOD PRICE.
ITS UNFORTUNATE THAT ON ALMOST ALL OLDER ITEMS THAT INFORMATION IS LOST. IT WOULD BE VERY COOL TO HAVE THE TRIBE, LOCATION MADE AND NAME OF THE FAMILY OR MAKER ON OLDER WEAPONS.
