			Recently I have been focused on collecting weapons that fall into the ethnographic category but today I participated in an auction of European weapons from the Berger collection), so I would greatly appreciate comments, especially related to age and origin of the four pieces I won.  To make sure that the photos stay in register with the texts provided by the auction site (and the Google translations) I will post each one in this thread separately.
