Next to the fact that the object loses aprox 50-75% of its value or is being downgraded 2 scales.
 
How is this actually with cold weapons ? | 
	
 Ethnographic weapons are not coins or stamps. I would go more with oldtimer cars, either restore them to former glory or bring them to working condition and functional and repair what needed to get repaired, for example a broken hilt or scabbard. I've shown several examples, choice by self!
