MY BED OF DREAMS
 

:D :D :D

Nice diversity, Flavio!

Make sure to post details in separate threads! I wouldn't mind you to start with the Moro pices but I'm also seeing some nice Dha, etc. ;) :D

Regards,
Kai

a very nice collection thanks for sharing

Thanks guys :) I need another bed to show my african toys...

Flavio, I feel sorry for the fact that you cannot sleep on your bed, but maybe I can help you. All you need to do is get a dozen or so boxes, wrap everything carefully and ship it to me in California or Sofia, Bulgaria - wherever you prefer, I will pay for the shipping. Then you can have your bed back and finally get some good night sleep without risking a serious injury to yourself.
Now seriously, you should start separate threads for all the pieces you have not already shown on this forum.

You sir, have great taste in weapons. There's not a piece I wouldn't love to have. Thanks for sharing.
Steve

Nice rack Flavio!!!!:)
Seriously, you have a superb grouping of important ethnographic edged weapons there, and what I like is the scope of your collection. Just goes to show that quantity is nonessential in collecting, and you clearly show discerning judgement in your acquisitions. Nicely done!!! and I too thank you for sharing these.
All the best,
Jim

Hi Flavio,

How about buying a bunk bed with two or three decks:p.
Very nice display, thank you for showing.

Thank you very much TVV, Steve, Jim and Jens i think that one of the reason to collect is also to show to other people (with the same passion, of course, because for a stamps collector all these pieces of iron are just pieces of iron :p ). Anyway i think to have nice pieces, nothing of really wonderful, but at this point i like the variety that i have (and that I hope to widen :D ). Here is the second bed :D :D

Flavio,

I completely agree with the other guys. Wonderful collection. I also would be proud to have any one of these!

I not only admire your diversity of cultures, but that each piece is a very good example of the weapon type!

I like your layout as well. It has balance and integrity.

Good job my friend!! :D

The collection is great...but you really have to do something about those sheets... ;) :D

Yes like some chap with a striped shirt and a spotted tie. Just not on what! :eek: :eek: :D

Yeahhhh, you're right, David :o :D :D :D

Tim, this is the italian fashion ;) :D

What ever happened to "Stile Inglese" :D :D :D A sleeveless vest and a beer belly :eek:

Flavio, did you sit on the wardrobe to take these pictures ? :p

I don't think I would be able to sleep with those 'goodies' in my bed :D ;)

Hello Flavio,

Very nice. But please don't show to much of your great african weapons.
I am trying to limit myself to Indonesia and thsi kind of pictures makes it very diffcult... :D :D

Specially like the spears, impressive !

Best regards,
Willem

Hi all just an updating. Here are some of my best pieces. I like to see these kind of pics with a lot of pieces from different cultures! If you want, please attach some of yours! :)

BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you for sharing these. :)

Flavio

How were you able to levitate yourself above the bed? ;) Very nice spread you have there and I am not talking about the sheets :D


Lew

Thank you Bill! Lew, I'll try to do something for the sheets :D Unfortunatly I'm not still able to make a display of the pieces and this is the only way I can show you!! Thanks a lot

Grande Flavio !! (Great Flavio). :D

Grazie Carlo! (thank you Carlo :) )

I am wondering: the last picture on the very bottom: is it a Beduin pseudo-shashka? Also, same pic, on the left, looking like shashka ( can't see the handle): what is it? Nice Yataghan, too....
I might hire O.J. to raid your place (all these knives belonged to him anyway , even though they do not fit :D :D )

Hello Ariel, yes the swod is a bedouin sabre with european blade (Tim Simmons's collection :D ), but no shashka :(

And don't forget to add the 2 others on the way! :D

YESSSSSSSSSS :D :D :D

Oh, I can see it clearer now ( always good to know that something is NOT what you thought :) ). The one on the left is a Pedang I ( Peudeung for the purists :rolleyes: ) from Sumatran Battaks.

Flavio that Billao is just great with a most unusual scabbard. Could you post a closer picture,

Best Regards

Rod

I think you guys have your priorities skewed. :confused:

My "Bed of Dreams" has this on it:
