I have various calvary swords and bayonets representing every major wartime production line since the Civil War, I also have a few modern limited edition specially designed daggers. I also collect pocketknives, but my true passion resides in firearms.

Im interested on how much you payed for those... or rather, of what quality they are

I do not collect swords. My 40k hobby is expensive enough, and swords are even more so. If I had a crap load of cash, I'd probably own several though.

I'll probably get a scimitar sometime after I've started working and have the kind of money for that sort of thing. Other than that, though, there don't seem to be any sorts of swords or other weapons that strike me as desirable.

I got the Katana and Wakazashi from my grandparents, who got them in Japan. I do not know how much it cost them. They seem to be fairly high quality, but although I own alot of swords I'm not really an expert on those types so I'm not certain.

I have this plastic sword that my first boyfriend gave me in kindergarten. I also have a neighbor that collects and actually makes swords. Those are pretty cool. And then my beau also has some really sweet ones.

Do you know Saxxy that beau is French, and that it is the male form of belle(beautiful)? I was just wondering.

All I have is a cavalry sword from the War of 1812. Original, not reproduction. My dad got it from a garage sale for nine bucks.

I'm hoping to get a couple of scimitars. Someday.

I wish I had that sabre. Damn, he ripped somebody off for that sword. And what is all this about scimitars? They are so over rated. But that's just my opinion.

The guy who sold it to him was an idiot when it came to swords. He didn't know it wasn't a repro. Neither did my dad, until he got it appraised five years later. The dude who appraised it said it was worth around $750.

My uncle has a ranch that is worth slightly better than $50 million (mineral rights are included in that figure which brings the price up a bit, regardless it it still around 57,000 acres big). Not too many people can beat that.

Stratevaris would have something to say to you.

Saber Team started yesterday. Its kinda hard to hold those sabers at "cross sabers", they're suprisingly heavy.
