This page shows the weapons I have collected over the past few years. The below picture shows one of the walls of my computer room, where the bulk of my armory is stored.

 

This was the first sword I bought, it's still one of my favourite weapons as it's design and
 balance are realistic and it's easy to wield, unlike the two fantasy swords in my collection.
This came from the "Antiquities" stall at the Cheshunt traders fair.
Length is 39 inches

This dagger was bought at the same time as the longsword above. I had great fun
carrying them both back to the car in a black bin-liner trying to look inconspicuous.
Only the tip is sharp, making it great for virgin sacrifices and stuff (joke!).
Length is 16 inches

My most expensive sword to date and definitely the most unwieldy, the brass hilt and
 crosspiece are beautifully detailed but there's only enough room for one hand, which
 is not adequate for something of this size and weight! Definitely a wall-hanger only!
This came from the "Whigmaelers" stall at the Southend Air Show!
Length is 45 inches

I haggled this for free with the above sword. More laughs carrying both of them back to the car.
At least the sword was boxed though! This is not a catalogue item as far as I know, there was only one
 for sale on the stall and judging by the shape it was in when I got it, it has seen some use in re-enactments.
 Although fully working, the pull is not enough to harm anyone (unless you use really sharp bolts!).
Length is 21 inches

This is a fairly cheap replica of Conan's sword from the movies. It is actually quite similar to look at
compared to the real thing, the only part that lets it done is the blade, which is much too narrow. The extra
weight of the crosspiece and double-handed grip are attached to a blade the same length as the longsword's.
If I could swap the blade from the brass sword with this I'd have two usable swords instead of two decorations!
This came from the "Uniquities" stall at the Cheshunt traders fair.
Length is 41 inches

Another weapon from the Cheshunt fair, this is a mean-looking dagger, as with the other only the tip is sharp.
Length is 17 inches

This katana was sold to me with a dull edge  on it, but with a bit of work with a sharpening stone
it's now a bit more dangerous.  Thankfully it has it's own scabbard to help prevent accidents!
This came from a shop in Wickford, Essex.
Length is 40 inches

Originally a plain wooden axe, Cheddar and I designed and implemented the leatherwork using two
old belts and a studded wristband. We added Spider and skull pin-badges to finish the effect.
Original axe from Battle orders.
Length is 21 inches

The newest addition to my collection, this two ball flail represents my wish to collect more non-bladed
weapons. It's harder to find other weapons than swords, but I want a nice selection for display!
 Bought from Battle orders.
Length is 25 inches

This is a real antique Indian tulwar and dates from around 1860. It's the only antique I have for the moment
but I am intent on collecting more. Unlike my other blades, this was never designed to be a wall-hanger!
This came from a Trident Sales auction on e-bay.
Length is 33 inches

This was a bit of a find! A decent quality small shield embossed with the figure of a mounted warrior.
Although I have no idea about the history of this piece, judging by the rust on the back and the frayed leather
straps this has definitely been used, at the very least for re-enactments.
 This came from the "Uniquities" stall at the Cheshunt traders fair.
Diameter is 18 inches

This is a basket-hilted broadsword as used by the highland guards, it looks like it has seen some use.
This was bought from a shop in Braemer, close to Balmoral in Scotland
Length is 40 inches
