How do you look for value in swords?
Do not take anyone's verbal word on "collection" topics. Highly recommend obtaining a published book on "Sword Collecting." Normally, publishers only publish what is as factual material as possible...as publishing a book costs lots of money; if their book is not successful on the open market...they lose money and/or go belly up. Use the computer to locate a "collecting book" (on anything...toy tanks, cars, jets, ships, stamps, books, etc.) then purchase the book or more than one and begin studying it. The Computer is a tool. COMPUTERS HAVE NOT REPLACED A GOOD BOOK (YET).
