What a wonderful grouping!!! and love the Manding saber from Mali !!
It is amazing to have such weapons with such pedigree, as they bring to life the classics in books and movies to life. ...especially with M.Dumas, 'the Fencing Master' himself.

The skull is a intriguing accent.

Of course Shakespeare for one!
"To be or ....."!
To me equals; "to face the situation or not"
And now more then ever, I have to face the situation...
"Memento mori"...
Like I said a it has allways been in my collection themes and I started at the age of 13.

I got a quiet important collection of uniform buttons starting in the 19 th century, that has got skull's in it.
My headresses got skull's.
And the day I find a nice blade with a skull, I'll try to ad that one to the collection too....
Here is a headlight that I had om one of my bike's;
