<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 2338429, member: 54&quot;]good, you have to start somewhere.&nbsp; If you can find arms fairs to attend there will be dealers who will explain a lot about the items.&nbsp; If you want your collection to have value, buy the best original-condition, complete items you can afford.&nbsp; Borrow or buy books Written by reputable authors, preferably books that address a narrow segment of the field, that way you can see the differences between similar swords.&nbsp; Specializing within the field is good, don’t try to deal with any type sword of any era, get smart on one historical period and maybe within one country, at first anyway.&nbsp; Join Facebook groups and participate in online forums.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
