hey guys! Im Mike, im new here and I would like to show you photos of my collection but I am unsure how to post them, anyone know?

Hi Mike, welcome. Most pics are 'too large' to put directly on this forum so you'l have to 'resize'them (amount pixels); I'm using very easy Irfan view to do this. Its a picture-management-program you have to/can download free. So . . .just google to upload Irfan view (just need the one with the red splashed cat-icon).

When downloaded the program, open the pic(s) with Irfan view (right mouseclick), choose [image] top left and the rest will follow . . .(choose the smallest/littlest size; still good qlty)

It sound much -it did to me- but when this program is downloaded resizing is easy and the Irfan view actually does much more (edit pics in all kind of ways)

Hope it helps?! This is the way I did it. Succes and hope to see your collectionpics soon.

Hi Mike and Welcome to the Forum.
The blades I will leave to those who know more about them........ but the guns..........The pics do not show detail but from what I can see the cartridge revolver looks like a Colt Lightning. The left hand pistol with the ring trigger and what looks like a bell mouth barrel is like either American or Continental in origin. The double barrel percussion pistol I would say is also continental in origin and likely Belgian. Better pics would be helpful showing any marks or names. If you could please post those I may be able to better identify the items.
