David and Ariel, Thanks. I just stated it for clarification.
Battara.....when the time comes, a story will surface.
Seriously, I asked the Auction House if they had history on the firearms and edged weapons, they told me that it just came out of an estate. But, I heard from a dealer that the items came out of a local museum that were liquidating their edged weapons and firearms collection because of the negativity surrounding it. It doesn't make sense.
