Wife would kill me if she finds out about this?
I did not know I had amassed so many. |

NOT BAD SO FAR YOU DON'T HAVE MORE THAN YOU CAN HIDE AND THERE LOOKS TO BE PLENTY OF ROOM ON THE WALL FOR A DISPLAY IF ALLOWED.
![]() PERHAPS THE WIFE WILL ALLOW IT AS LONG AS SHE DOSEN'T KNOW THE CASH INVOLVED. YOU CAN ALWAYS SAY THEY ARE AN INVESTMENT AND WORTH MUCH MORE THAN YOU PAID , AND HOPPEFULLY THAT IS TRUE. BUT US COLLECTORS KNOW THE BIGGEST MONEY PROBLEM IS WHEN WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH AND HAVE TO MISS OUT ON SOME LONG SOUGHT AFTER COOL ITEM. CONGRADULATIONS ON A NICE LITTLE COLLECTION AND YOUR SURVIVAL SO FAR. ![]() |

Salaams Ibrahiim,
I have not shot the bow yet, I need to take it to an archery store and have it strung. As I was going through the nicks and crannies, I found another knife, 2 foldable knives and an axe head, and I have not even started at the arrow heads. Vandoo, I have already told her all that stuff, and there are lots of room I just need to build a display case. |

If she doesn't, you married an angel. Want to hide them at my place, and start a slo-o-o-o-w introductory conversation with her? |

AJ, I fear the cats outa the bag now!!!
![]() ![]() However this is probably one of the most outstanding groupings of arms from Afghan regions I have seen, and with excellent representative examples which would present an important study for collectors. No wonder you have always contributed such astute observations in discussions! Nicely done. |

Thanks Jim, she uses her smart phone more than the computer and would go after my facebook before checking the forums
![]() Yeah women are somewhat clueless when it comes to collections, and become argumentative about things they do not understand and think it is a waste of money. Every country I have visited for a longer stay I've tried to get some sort of arms from. You have to be around for a bit to know what are the fake trends of each country. I'll try close ups some time. Since I just got back home, there is so much other stuff to do. I'll try to get you guys some pictures of my arrow heads as well some time. I just need to locate everything. |

you have a good selection criteria for wives as well as knives
![]() my 2nd wife liked pistols. when we divorced she got custody of the 6" stainless steel smith & wesson .357 model 19 (actually a model 66). i got to keep the colt .45acp mk4 series '70. Quote:
they are sadly now illegal to carry, buy or sell here in the UK (but not illegal to own). gamblers also favoured more conventional knives, but smaller & more concealable than the rest of the frontier world...similar to the two lower wall mounted one's and like this recent acquisition of mine: Last edited by kronckew; 15th December 2013 at 02:35 PM. |
