Default From Turkish candy store

Candies which I bought all in 1 lot, and sold except only the short swords after removing rust. I wonder how long time it will take for me to find so many Surmene and other Saldirma knives together again.

regards

Not as nice as the beauties in 50cents candy store, I am probably a bit too old for that sort of thing now .

I comfort myself thinking that at least I can go and watch them plus 40-50 more whenever I want, as I sold nearly all of them to a single collector friend of me
