Also i only collect antique indo persian arms and armour and was selling a few pieces in my collection. Where do you guys think I can find a good place to sell these cuz i have all sorts of arms for sale (spears, tulwars, pesh kabz, axes, pattas, maces, katars). I had heard indo persian antiques are high in demand in the general sword collecting world, but i can not find a place where ppl are really ready to buy a wootz tulwar or something lik an afghan chiefs choora. Do you have other tulwars then? I really would eventually like to buy a decent one from a trust-able source but I generally don't have a whole lot of money. I study Western saber and it's been interesting seeing how the tulwar and it's use influenced the UK and, by extension, the US, use of the saber.

Viking Sword ethnographic forums might be a good place. Their swap forum is pretty busy. I'm a fan of indopersian stuffs, myself, but I'm on a shoestring budget until payroll picks up again at my work. I'd love to see anything you have, though, especially the Afghan choora and the like. I have a few "Khyber knives" and such already, but I love seeing more.

Yea i tons of tulwars, but this one i have is prolly gonna be cheapest of all of em. I can send images of everything up for sale rn. But i have some stuff that will go for up to $1000.

This is the stuff you would find at an auction or something but i cant find buyers for more of the expensive pieces

Unfortunately, the expensive stuff is a hard sell nowadays. Folks don't have the expendable income, those who do are in other markets. Indopersian arms and armor is a pretty niche subset of the sword hobby compared to Japanese, Chinese, and European stuff. Even the Philippines, Indonesia, etc are seeing more interest than India etc. African stuff seems to be climbing the ladder as the new affordable exotic.
If it's not too much trouble, I'd like (and I'm sure others here would also) to see pictures of anything you have. Might find a buyer or two just by showing off.
