sword wishlist

My Wish List
....to acquire any old, used weapon that had meaning to it's original owner irrespective of the weapon's monetary value or status

Something that when I hold it in my hands .....I can 'feel' its history...and have the privilege of cherishing it like the original owner once did.

Swords I would like in that category would be a 1796 Pattern Sabre, A wootz bladed Shamshir, a Moro Kris , a 18th Century Katana , an Ancient Egyptian Kopesh and a genuine, pattern welded Viking Sword......some are well out of my financial league

.....but, for any generous souls.... it's my birthday in 7 months time

Regards David
