IF I have the Knowledge?????????? Let me see well I was able to buy two Authentic 19th Nias swords you passed on at the Skinners Auction.You were there and probably had them in your hands . I just had poor jpegs pictures to make a decsion ...What was your excuse oh those do not interest me? I thought the point was to Buy the real things not FAKES....

I am a collector part of me wants to post what is real authentic objects the other part says why educate the competion ie other collectors . That might be selfish of me but I think all real collectors are a bit selfish.

As for a so called collector who is really a picture collector I do not have time for those people . They have to have others ok there stuff to make them feel good at what they buy.

Thanks for leaving the real authentic stuff to the real collectors who can make up there minds on what they collect in minutes ,rather than waiting for a e-mail replies from several others who tell you what to BUY.Thats Fact not FICTION .

I do not need to post pictures on this forum to validate my collection or my knowledge.

Advice:
Read a book study what you collect before you collect it helps ... No more help...
