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?

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.

Ah, blank canvas! Excellent.
You can get the display right, and 'theme' the area around the weapons

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
