Did individual Polish nobles have large collections of swords?

[awdaniec666]

Yes they do and did have large collections. Even today this tradition is kept alive - the sabre has a special place in our culture to this day. Despite all the theft and destruction happening in Poland, there has always been the urge to regain cultural goods, whether through public institutions or private collectors. In the course of time many private collections became museums. Most known the collection of Izabela Czartoryska, a Polish noblewoman from the early 19th century.
