Definitely beneficial for you as a collector, but I do agree that it is sort of disheartening for you as a hobbyist, as the passion you have for such a blade seems not to be shared by very many.
The knowledge on my part is not there, but I love to read about the Talibung and acquire more knowledge of P.I. weaponry beyond what I hear from other eskrimadors. There's only so much FMA half-truth hearsay I can take before wanting to find out myself the reason behind the forms of my homeland's edged weapons.
