I am 43.
I made a dozen swords from scrap metal around age 12.
I bought my first antique sword at age 30.
I bought my second at age 35.
I bought 20 more in the last 12 months...so I guess I am really hooked now.
Finding this forum really opened my eyes to how interesting ethnographic arms are, which in turn has gotten me really interested in understanding the culture and history of many parts of the world I knew very little about.
