WELCOME TO THE FORUM
I ASSUME BY COLD WEAPONS YOU MEAN THINGS OTHER THAN FIREARMS. WE REFER TO ANY WITH CUTTING OR PERICING WEAPONS AS EDGED WEAPONS THAT WILL INCLUDE JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING EXCEPT CLUBS, SLING STONES AND BOLAS.
I SEARCHED THE OLD FORUMS TO SEE IF THERE WAS A POST WITH A LIST OF GOOD ARMS MUSEUMS AND CONTACT INFORMATION BUT DID NOT FIND ANY. IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA FOR A POST AND A GOOD LIST OF MUSEUMS WITH GOOD ARMS COLLECTIONS FOR REFRENCE WOULD BE HANDY FOR US ALL WHEN WE TRAVEL.
UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T HAVE FULL INFORMATION ON MUSEUMS HERE BUT WILL LIST A FEW I CAN THINK OF AND PERHAPS YOU CAN LOOK UP FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE NET. I AM SURE OTHER MEMBERS CAN ALSO ADD SOME MORE INFORMATION.
