PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU POST: FORUM RULES, GUIDELINES AND FEATURES

Welcome to the Ethnographic Arms and Armour Forum, an on-line community of collectors, researchers and enthusiasts of what can be termed "ethnographic" weapons and armor. What is "ethnographic," you might ask? We define the term, for the purposes of this site, as a weapon other than the standardized military models of the past few centuries and which is likely a product of an individual artisan working according to traditional patterns as opposed to a product of modern mass industrial production. Militaria is thereby excluded by definition. Modern custom knives would qualify as an artifact of our own "culture", but will not be considered here, as they are better represented elsewhere.

Be sure to read the thread on Forum rules, policies and guidelines before posting.

Again, welcome, and we hope you will enjoy participating in the discussions.
