Possibilities:
1. People still have money to spend on toys despite tough economic times.
2. Antique weapons are a good investment
3. Most likely one: I have heard that there is a world-wide run on Indian, Chinese and Russian (+ related areas) objects of art. There is a glut of "nuveau riches" there and they repatriate their historic weapons. This is similar to what happened in the 1980s with Nihonto. Interestingly, Nihonto this time around were much more restrained economically.
None of us, I reckon, are in the same league..... "If I were a rich man..."
