For many swords have a tremendous historical value, while other just like to collect them for their appearance. Some collect for the financial value of their collection others just for fun. What type are you?
There are basically two types of swords that can be collected.
1- Functional or Battle-Ready Swords: These are the real thing; these are sword that can stand the rigors of swords fight. They have sharp edges and are capable of cutting. Collectors like me only collect real-swords; the drawback is that this type of swords requires a lot more attention. Real sword are made of high carbon steel, they regularly require some sort of coating to prevent the oxygen in the air to affect the blade.
2- Display Swords: These swords are for display or decoration purposes only. What makes those swords highly popular amongst collectors is the fact that they are cheaper but still very attractive and they don’t require any special treatment.
