I thought this would be fun to post. This is one of my favorite corners in my house. What makes it so special is that only three of these swords are mine. The rest are all ones I've purchased to give to my family members, thus creating two new generations with a passion for swords. My kids and grandkids decided to keep them at my house because I have a dedicated fenced cutting floor beside my deck. Those old enough to cut can do so. Those too young can watch their swords in use.

Here's a list of what's in the pic and who I gave them to (from left to right):

N. Burridge Tutankhamen Kopesh
Tutankhamen Linen Sling
Windlass Spartan Lakonian (these first 2 are mine)
N. Burridge Early Naue Type II Bronze Aegean - #5 Grandson
Hanwei Hispaniensis Gladius - #1 Son
Hanwei Swept Hilt Renaissance Rapier & Dagger - #1 Daughter
DSA Oslo Viking - #2 Grandson
Gen 2 Crusader - #3 Son-in-law
DSA 14th Century Two-hander - #4 Grandson
DSA Sage - #1 Daughter-in-law
Hanwei Tinker Great Sword of War - #1 Son-in-law
Gen 2 Irish Ring Hilt & Dagger - #2 Daughter
Hanwei Basket Hilt Broadsword - #6 Grandson
Hanwei Bone Grip Swept Hilt Rapier - #1 Grandson
Del Tin 1st Century Celtic Anthropomorphic - #3Grandson
(Top) Wiwingti Ko-Katana - #2 Son-in-law
(Above that) Musashi Poison Ivy Katana - mine
(Not shown) Hanwei Lowlander Claymore - #2 Son

I've got a wall space at home exactly like yours, and yet putting my swords in it never occurred to me... I like your idea of the family corner too, watching the collection reminds you each time of the whole family

That is a gorgeous collection. I see a couple of my own picks in there... always neat to see when someone else has similar taste.

Sorry if this has already been discussed in another thread, but I'm curious - how did you mount the scabbards? They look like they're floating there...

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

choseychas: Huh. Is there no fix on our side then? Or is it that you need to contact an admin since the auto system is down? Nov 18, 2024 3:58:50 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT

eastman: that situation has been constant at MyArmoury for the last 2-3 years Nov 18, 2024 0:32:06 GMT

choseychas: Anyone have any info on MyArmoury registration? Been wanting to make an account for a year or more (can't remember at this point) but every time I've checked they've halted registrations. Nov 17, 2024 21:55:36 GMT

alinkinthechain: I also do love Boston. I've traveled a bit and nothing feels as wonderful as that city to me. I'm lucky to live nearby Nov 12, 2024 15:28:16 GMT

txhighlander: Boston might be my fav. So much history, and clean! and great food. New York was cool for a day to see iconic landmarks Nov 7, 2024 17:00:22 GMT

eskiso: someone can help me to identify a sword and its origin, to see its commercial value please. 2346
