Nice! As in E Book nice. How many display cases in total, do you plan to have on the walls by the end of 2018? Look forward to starting my own collection thread in 2018. I have like 7 more I have sitting in boxes that need mounting... probably still need a few more too. Looks like you have 10 cases on display, therefore a total of at least 17? Imagine Swiger or Kelly with hundreds of display cases on the walls.....they could become tourist destinations! |

Added some of the pics of shinto customizations (still some fitting of the habaki to seppa needed). Also added a special nod to you Blade Runner and put a table of contents in. Trying to figure out how to do the goto/jumpto working. Nice! As in E Book nice. How many display cases in total, do you plan to have on the walls by the end of 2018? Look forward to starting my own collection thread in 2018. and now with some help from Paul our illustrious owner, I found the missing bit to make jump links work. ToC now has working jump to links! |

Wow, words cannot be uttered that state my amazement at your collection. SO many wonderful pieces. I would say both renditions of the Master Sword are most impressive, along with the incredibly preserved Prussian sabre... and to think it even has family history. Now that is truly something.

Well cared for and a recent polish (Verity can correct me if I am wrong). The great swords get taken care of over time. the last polish it saw was just prior to its Tokubetsu papers. (1950’s). It’s just been VERY well cared for over its illustrious history (as evidenced by actually not having seen that many polishes over its lifetime, the blade is extremely healthy with zero signs of tiredness despite being over 7 centuries old). |

Again, mega like how you did your table of contents. Great recent additions. See that you recently got your first Albion. That Shieldmaiden guard is one of the nicest I have ever seen. |
