I have them locked up in my safe

She knows of my collection, I just don't think she knows of the extent. What I want though is to display them some time.

AJ, I fear the cats outa the bag now!!!

if your wife uses a computer. I well understand your concerns though, wives don't typically grasp the idea of collecting, let alone antique arms (I note with my trail of ex wives

However this is probably one of the most outstanding groupings of arms from Afghan regions I have seen, and with excellent representative examples which would present an important study for collectors. No wonder you have always contributed such astute observations in discussions! Nicely done.

Nice collection. Show us some close ups!

I am only recently married, but wife already not making a place for my collection

Thanks Jim, she uses her smart phone more than the computer and would go after my facebook before checking the forums

so I am fine there.
Yeah women are somewhat clueless when it comes to collections, and become argumentative about things they do not understand and think it is a waste of money.
Every country I have visited for a longer stay I've tried to get some sort of arms from. You have to be around for a bit to know what are the fake trends of each country.
I'll try close ups some time. Since I just got back home, there is so much other stuff to do. I'll try to get you guys some pictures of my arrow heads as well some time. I just need to locate everything.
