So, why you collect items from a certain culture? i see many westerners here who are very interested in other cultures, its nice and all but really interested in knowing why

also, how long you been collecting?

As for myself, i always was enthusiastic about swords since i was very young, especially Arabic/turkish/persian swords but that mainly got to do with the feeling that its "my culture". Also, the history of it always amazed me since i consider myself to be a student of Islam and "middle eastern" history.

Began collecting about 2 years ago and so far really enjoying it no matter how much it can be costy.
