THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT VIEWS ON THIS SUBJECT, SOME WOULD CONSIDER ANY NEWLY MADE REPLICA AS JUNK AND WOULD ONLY CONSIDER BUYING THE BEST QUALITY AUTHENTIC EXAMPLES. IF YOU COLLECT IN THIS FASHON YOU MUST HAVE A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY OR BE CONTENT TO PERHAPS GET LUCKY ONE OR TWO TIMES IN YOUR LIFE.
SOME ONLY COLLECT NEWLY MADE EDGED WEAPONS BY THE MASTERS OF OUR AGE ,THESE TWO WAYS OF COLLECTING JUST ABOUT GAURANTEE YOU WILL GET TOP QUALITY AND GET YOUR MONEY BACK AND MOST LIKELY MAKE A PROFIT WHEN YOU SELL.
I COLLECT IN MANY AREAS AND LIKE TO HAVE AN EXAMPLE OF THE MANY FORMS AVAILABLE OFTEN THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE DUE TO A LACK OF EXAMPLES FOR SALE OR THE HIGH COST OF SUCH EXAMPLES. SO I DO BUY REPLICAS IF THEY ARE WELL MADE AND ARE A GOOD REPRESENTATION OF THE WEAPON AND I LIKE THEIR LOOK. THE CHANCES OF GETTING YOUR MONEY BACK OR MAKEING A PROFIT WHEN YOU SELL ARE NOT GOOD ON SUCH ITEMS SO YOU MUST GET YOUR MONEYS WORTH BY ENJOYING THE ITEM AND PERHAPS USING IT FOR TRAINING OR DISPLAY/ DECOR.
I PERSONALLY COLLECT FOR FUN NOT TO PROFIT BUT DO PREFER TO MAKE A PROFIT IF I SELL WHICH HAPPENS VERY SELDOM
SO ENJOY COLLECTING AND DO IT YOUR WAY AND DON'T WORRY WHAT THE OTHER GUY THINKS.
ONE OF MY FUN COLLECTIONS IS A GUN COLLECTION WHICH IS OF THE ONLY TYPE GUN HATERS MIGHT APPROVE (WATER GUNS) YOU WOULD BE AMAZED AT THE MANY DESIGNS, TYPES AND SIZES THAT HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE OVER THE YEARS.
