Did individual Polish nobles have large collections of swords?
Of course a well to do nobleman in any country would likely own multiple swords, but I heard that Polish nobles collected sabres like one would do with coins or stamps today. Could such habits have occurred, or would it have been unlikely for large collections to be formed by individual enthusiasts?

However in earlier times, when nobles maintained or funded garrisons, they would have kept an armoury for those soldiers which included weapons and armour. Many of the surviving collections we have today are built from such garrisons. |
