I have a Napoleonic Heavy cavalry sword, British. Found it funnily enough in a theatre in London.

A ceremonial sabre from the Indian army c.1880's has a tigger shaped pommel.

Old Ausrian Bayonet from the late 19th century (my family's) I believe and a French Bayonet c1870's

Some strange Indo-Chinese things in bamboo scabbards.

I have a Scottish Claymore in the basket-hilted style, various daggers of various makes, a Sgian Dubh, numerous hunting knives, and three old pocketknives I inherited from my grandfather. I hope to soon add a Pappenheimer rapier to this collection, or a cavalry sabre, probably in a Prussian or British style. I'll post a picture when I can.

I've got a ... knife. Living at college puts a bit of a damper on weapon collecting. Plus, I'm going for the more practical and lower cost firearms collection first.

General-Winter, if you haven't already, you should check to see if there are any ARMA guys around you. Great people for learning how to sword fight.

Guns. I have a couple of daggers and a sword or two, but guns will make it way easier to fight off the zombie hordes.

I always wanted to collect medievil weapons and armor... and I thought about going for the affordable replicas, but decided I wouldnt be happy until I could get the real deal, ie used ones

and they cost real money... which I dont have yet
