I started collecting sword about 10 months ago, here's what I menaged to acquire in this time. All of these except the knives have been bought second-hand. Albion Sempach +VA scabbard Spyderco Paramilitary 2 (also have a set of brass scales but I'm too lazy to put them on) Custom XIV by Mateusz Sulowski Benchmade 51 Mora Companion An original longsword by Michael "tinker" Pearce (this one used to be owned by Skallagrim) Retired items: Vladimir Cervenka Schiavona Albion Talhoffer Not too bad for a 16 year old eh?

My collection when I was 16 - one antique sabre, one junk chinatana that I broke (blade bent edge forwsrd) over a log.
I'd say you're doing VERY at 16.

Oh right, I almost forgot about the antiques... Antique Officers French Infantry Sword model 1882 (near-perfect condition) this was my first not-mallninja sword My great-grandfather's Wermacht Knife/dagger. He was Czech and he got drafted into the german army, he fortunatelly never had to fight but they let him keep the knife and gear anway, sadly only the knife survived the Communism era.

The Plan was to get one longsword for cutting training... but a series of lukcy events and some nice trades got me much of these swords for a greatly reduced cost and you know how it is, you got one-you want another.

And I thought "only the 1822, if I find one for cheap" didn't find one until late last year. Weren't cheap (for me) neither!

Nice collection at 16, all I had then was the wooden sword from my trip to medieval times, if you can even call it a sword, more like a cross

Better than I was doing at 16. I had 2 windlass and one Del Tin, I had not yet inherited my family sword yet but I knew that was coming...
You are off to a GREAT start Robert... nice collection! By the time you're my age at the rate you're going you will eclipse even Dave Kelly hehe.

At 16, I had pet rocks and a Renault Encore with a blown head gasket. Great start!

Hello I got a 1907 Enfield bayonet when I was 12. I lived on a farm and choped the crap out of every post I went by. If I had an Albion like you, I might have been truly dangerous:-) Congratulations on you fine collection.
