i think this is a great idea. the best wall display, including private and museums. please start the post (your idea) although i think the ward collection would be very hard to beat.
also, not that i'm competative, but would get the african/south east asian/islamic-indian members 'fighting' in one post

however, could be a lot of effort and posts, only to have zalmoxis as the winner anyway.

barry,

why don't you start a new thread about displays (private or public). i think there was one on the old eewrs, but most of the pics have disintegrated to a small red 'x'. would be nice to get ideas from fellow forumites on how to display these weapons...

Jim once said ‘The weapons are literally tapestries of culture’. In this case it is really true, but I don’t think he thought of it this way.

Truly fascinating BI. Thanks for sharing.

Would it be possible to see the page of descriptions regarding the Nepali arms, {particularily the kukri.}

Thankyou.
