Hey Stan,
Nice collection you've got there. All ages but fairly tightly focused (something I've never quite managed) how you displaying them all? Best Gene |

Thanks Gene,
Working on a proper display is my next project. We moved to a new place just a few months ago and my collection is currently residing on a closet shelf. I had a few swords and daggers hanging on the walls at the old apartment but was never quite happy with the arrangement. |

You can get the display right, and 'theme' the area around the weapons Best Gene |

You and I both, Gene... Sadly, my only requirements is that it be sharp and/or pointy, and made primarily with metal and/or wood. Stan, I echo Gene's sentiments... A very nice collection IMO - I am especially fond of your maces. Cheers, Chris |

Hi Stan
beautiful and interesting collection, what I like, it's the focus on a specific theme or civilization India, very large continent, with a lot of particularities, and very rich in all military equipments, more specialy; swords, daggers and armors but, having never had the opportunity to go there, I have virtually nothing, from this country otherwise, I have the same approach than you, except for what I acquired long time ago I limit my purchases, at only countries where I worked, or visited mainly, Middle-East, and Great Maghreb, it's large enough to optimize the searchs congratulations and thanks, to have share with us your very nice collection all the best à + Dom |
