Hi Scout, Thank you for your message and kind comments. I would love to sit in the middle of the room!! Problem is I can not find the middle, too much junk to climb over!! how about some photos of your swords, don't br shy!!
With thanks, regards and best wishes Michael R
Hi Stuka, We do have a lot in common. I too am married to a Martian!! She says that when I die she is going to order a skip for all my "Junk". I'll get her to let you know when it happens. Seriously, thank you for the photo. Even if I can not beg, borrow or steal all the "stuff" I see in other collections, I can at least lust after it so please feel free to send more!! I'll post a few more swords over the weekend. I like your cabinet but those swords at the back look a bit lonely. I know, send them over here to join their mates in my spare room. Now thats a good idea!! LOL Some hope!!!!!
Cheers for now Michael R
PS What else are you interested in??
not sure i will survive you!! I drive the bike like a mad man, some say!! ;-)
I didn't show the pic's of your collection to my wife....so to us the swords are NOT (lol!!) that alone!! ;-)
As a matter of fact i don't realy know how to insert the last one in to the cabinet....I think I'll just put it under the Victorian engineers coat! ;-)
I am adding the pics of the two other swords hanging on the side;
My field(s) of intrest is rather wide!! Telephones, buttons, clock's, toys, ...
I was never after one specific item, what comes, comes! And they come!!;-)
The only subject that I give more attention to is my Belgian Congo uniforms collection, not just military, also railway, navy and any other compagny's uniforms or parts of it!
Btw , I have got two nice Belgian Congo army swords!!
Also anything related to my home town; Antwerp, and in wear of a uniform is very much appreciated!
A fire men's brass 19 th century helmet is high on my list, I know there is one in the UK somewhere, but i lost track of it....
cheers

Hi Stuka, Have you got a name?? It is not M Ryan by any chance is it? You sound just like me!!! I collect toys, have got buckets full of buttons, some telephones, one or two clocks but no Congo items Yet!! Thanks for the photos. The swords look a bit tired but hay ho, at least they are real!! What sort of buttons do you collect?
I'll post you a couple of photos of different bits next week.
Cheers for now Michael R

Wandelsabel, they are called! Meaning "walking sword", I have got a similar made by a Dutch factory! I like them ever so much!
Thanks for showing the other sword's, they are all very nice!
I collect all kind of buttons; civilian, military from aal over the world. But my mane collection is of course Belgian buttons!
I have been lobying for quiet a long time to get a button sub forum here on our forum, but in vain.... (lol!!)
There is a thread called "post your buttons of intrest here", you will find some of my buttons there.
ps, I don't keep them in buckets!! ;-)
cheers
