Please tell the rest us about Timonium!
 

I could not go to Timonium this year, but want to know whether there were any interesting weapons, what did people find/buy, how's the pricing situation overall ( getting more expensive? less? which weapons in particular?), etc, etc.
Can you share with the rest of us?

Less to choose from and higher prices but there were a few good buys you just needed to look harder.

Mark is working up a page on the presentations, So I do not want to take away from that but there were some great swords to look at an handle at the dinner. I enjoyed all of them but I particularly enjoyed the tibetan display and the one on sahara weapons. Both of the formal lectures were great. I learned a great deal and again there are handouts that may be able to be posted with the page on the seminar

As to the show Artzi brough some great pieces for his booth ( as always ). There were several other tables with ethnographic swords but you can tell the interest in them is increasing because as noted above the trend is that the prices are going up
