Good Question Rick,
my collection is small, but the African weapons I have collected tend to be irreplaceable, why? because as African countries seek modernisation ....the old tribal ways are being erroded away and old values (and weapons) no longer have such significance. I would hope ..... that commonsense will prevail....and that collections will not be confiscated or destroyed.
And as they say ...hope springs eternal....what ever that means....
(this answer (above) is due to the current 'Knife amnesty' and its repercussions)
One of my sons always comments on my new 'additions'......cool
being the main one.....I would hope he would 'take them on'........
