So I had the fortunate pleasure to visit New Orleans this past week and was treated to a small store in the French Quarter called James H. Cohen & Sons. I will admit I wandered in to hopefully stumble upon a Japanese coin or two to use as menuki for a katana project, but still, the thrill of the numerous displays of sabers and firearms was really cool. My wife even let me stay there a whole thirty minutes!! :lol:
Anyways, if you're in the area, I would recommend stopping by and having a glance-a-roo. Is primarily an antiques store, with many coin displays. But the walls, oh baby the wall are lined with sharp pointy goodies.
Thanks, have a great day. AoH

Definitely sounds awesome and it's good you found it! What were they stocking? Good stuff? Not just SLOs lol?
And I hate it when girls do that "Come with me and window shop for stuff I'm not going to buy for 4 hours. You want to visit a store you like? Well... fine if you must"
(fine=//////=fine)

it was essentially a civil war era based shop with some various european weaponry sprinkled in. At least to my untrained eye. I especially liked one european short sword they had. Lots of sabers (sabres?) and mounted calvary weaponry. Looked to be authentic ( the prices were anyways ). Since my father is an avid collector of civil war currency, I had decided to hunt for that type of memorabilia anyways. The swords were a total bonus.
