Weighing in...collecting from other cultures...

Well I do Not agree with the argument that some of these old weapons belong back in their native countries. Some areas in Africa where there is civil,political and economic unrest these weapons would probably be melted down for scrap.
We collectors are only temporary custodians of these items and in a way we insure that they will be around for future generations to enjoy. Hopefully one day some of these pieces will find their way back to their country of origin.
