Doing my start of the year photo updating and I came across my somewhat small sword collection and decided to post a few of them.
First up are a couple of Filipino barongs;one with a handle made from a goat's horn(I think)and the other wood with pearl inlays.
Next is a Chinese dagger(or short sword)with a figured brass handle and lacquered scabbard colored to look like toroise shell.
Next is a Chinese short sword which I believe is called a police model.
Next is a couple more Chinese swords.
Next is a US Army sword by Horstmann Brothers.
Next is a pair of Japanese swords I bought at a yard sale in town for $225. Haven't gotten them evaluated yet but a tentative estimate on one of them is several thousand dollars.
Last one was given to me along with an IOOF sword that a friend of mine found in the trunk of a used car he took in on trade.This has tentatively been identified as a Revolutionary War era cutlass.Hope to find out more info soon.

Wow Knife7! That is a really interesting and eclectic collection of swords. If for some of them you are able to learn anything of their history or value kindly share that with us.Doing my start of the year photo updating and I came across my somewhat small sword collection and decided to post a few of them.
