The Collection Gallery of Chad Arnow
You can browse the various pieces of my collection by choosing a category from the navigation bar.
Simply choose Swords,
Daggers, or
Others above and then
pick an item in the drop-down menu or click "Begin" to view the first item.A love of military history led me to begin collecting weapons and armour. The nobility and chivalry of the warriors of the past have always inspired me. After I bought my first few swords (cheap and of poor quality), I began to buy books and search the Internet for more information on my growing fascination with medieval weapons. Quality weapons soon replaced my pot-metal-hilted swords, and a passion for collecting swords was born. As time passed, historical accuracy and function became more important than simply owning swords: they had to look like, and function like, their historical counterparts. I began to prefer, and still do prefer, weapons that are replicas of extant swords. I have had as many as nine swords with assorted daggers, warhammers, and helms thrown in, though my collection has become more refined and less general than in past years. I plan to continue to upgrade my collection by replacing current pieces with upper-level production and custom pieces.  Return to the index of collections |
