Nice diversity, Flavio!
Make sure to post details in separate threads! I wouldn't mind you to start with the Moro pices but I'm also seeing some nice Dha, etc. ![]() ![]() Regards, Kai |

Flavio, I feel sorry for the fact that you cannot sleep on your bed, but maybe I can help you. All you need to do is get a dozen or so boxes, wrap everything carefully and ship it to me in California or Sofia, Bulgaria - wherever you prefer, I will pay for the shipping. Then you can have your bed back and finally get some good night sleep without risking a serious injury to yourself.
Now seriously, you should start separate threads for all the pieces you have not already shown on this forum. |

Nice rack Flavio!!!!
![]() Seriously, you have a superb grouping of important ethnographic edged weapons there, and what I like is the scope of your collection. Just goes to show that quantity is nonessential in collecting, and you clearly show discerning judgement in your acquisitions. Nicely done!!! and I too thank you for sharing these. All the best, Jim |

Thank you very much TVV, Steve, Jim and Jens i think that one of the reason to collect is also to show to other people (with the same passion, of course, because for a stamps collector all these pieces of iron are just pieces of iron

Flavio,
I completely agree with the other guys. Wonderful collection. I also would be proud to have any one of these! I not only admire your diversity of cultures, but that each piece is a very good example of the weapon type! I like your layout as well. It has balance and integrity. Good job my friend!! ![]() |

I am wondering: the last picture on the very bottom: is it a Beduin pseudo-shashka? Also, same pic, on the left, looking like shashka ( can't see the handle): what is it? Nice Yataghan, too....
I might hire O.J. to raid your place (all these knives belonged to him anyway , even though they do not fit ![]() ![]() |
