The Story of the Collector


If you are a sword enthusiast, you would know that the medieval Anglo-Saxon period paves the way for one of the greatest eras of swords, rivaling that of the time of the Samurai in the Far East. These are the times where the most coveted of swords hail from. The stories are endless and so are the price tags. These swords will go for thousands or millions at an auction. And if you are beginning your collection, this should not be the path you should take. Well, not just yet.

If you are a beginner sword collector, you may want to invest in something such as replica swords from your favorite movies or television shows or even animated series or movies. You can find replicas of these swords at a fairly affordable price.

After obtaining your first sword, you have to maintain it. It will deteriorate if you do not take care of it. Try, as much as you can, to avoid any humidity and or extreme temperature from physically reaching your sword collection. Having a display case specifically for it is quite recommendable. An oil rub is a good way to maintain the quality of your sword and try to avoid any human contact with the actual sword blade to prevent any further deterioration.

Go ahead. Invest in your own collection but start small, begin with cheap swords first and bigger, better, badder ones in the future.
