Ahh, yes, Fernando, I know what you mean . Still, even simpler pieces that we might assemble over time reflects the appreciation and passion behind collecting. We are doing 'our small part' to preserve the history of these items.

Foxbat, please don't tease us! Post the pics! I hope to make it up to Philly one of these days to see it in person (while stopping by the Smithsonian on the way- )

If you make the trip, make sure to stop at my place in Wilmington, DE, I have some nice pieces to touch.

Anyway, here are pictures.

I had a chance to visit this musuem this past summer. Beautiful building and of course I had to run up the steps while chanting the "Rocky" theme song. Funny thing, I wasn't the only one doing it. Tourists from all over the world were running up the steps and posing with the Rocky statue. Now, back to the more important stuff, the European arms represented in the museum is fantastic and the building itself is magnificent and well worth a day of perusing.

Thanks for sharing those, Foxbat.
Maybe we better keep as it is; we then (also) avoid repeated images, only from different angles .

Just incredible stuff here! I'm seeing pieces that are represented in many of the reference books from my humble library. I can't believe how big the display is! Thank you, Fernando and Foxbat, for your time and contribution.

Nice pictures all around, I know the hardships of museum photography quite well myself.

Two things in particular draw my attention, does anyone have some information on the decorated(?) mail in post #1, and the writhen longsword in the last two pictures of post #13?
