I was worried something was wrong, as he's posted once (August 9th, 2022) since somewhat regularly until around December 2021, or one post in nearly three years. He was a stickler for detail so must have an itemized descriptive list somewhere detailing his vast collection.

Saddening. I really hope we'll hear he's improved.

Saddening. I really hope we'll hear he's improved. There's always hope, but that long absence combined with the severe dementia diagnosis is a tough combination. Mr. Kelly is one of the great librarian/historian/curators of the hobby. Irreplaceable.

Terrible to hear. He was very active when I first came on here. I saw that Reddit post yesterday but didn’t realize that was his collection. Definitely a loss to the community. Condolences to his family.

Sad to hear great guy and one of the staples of the forum. Has anyone here tried to get ahold of the family member on reddit? Maybe one of the mods or even Paul could chime in and help out since he was on here for so long. Dave has so much stuff between Swords, Armour and Literature maybe even vendors would be interested.

There are some great pieces in that collection that would definitely sell. I noticed an Albion Gallowglass, I wonder if he still has that.

Terrible news about his health. His collection was the epitome of sword collection.

He was always gracious and welcoming on this forum. He passed along so much of his knowledge in his posts. I wish him and his family the best.
