But i would actually prefer to have my own room for my collection since sometimes sharp and pointy delicate antique objects are not so good to have around during a party or when your friends want to bring their small children over.

Well, the room (15' x 24' x 10') was a dream come true specifically for room acoustics following years of interests in hi-fi. However my other half doesn't want anything sharp edged esp head hunting swords and keris in family areas so no choice; the music have to give some way to Bugis. Can't win them all.

Herzlichen Dank. Yes indeed they are artistic as only 3 have the same decoration on the hilt/grip/handle, all others differ.
The "cutlery" (knives and forks) which I showed in other threads and are smaller are all identical.
I wanted to draw all the different "designs" into a small booklet but as I never came to it, I have a problem now as I have so many...guess I have to wait untill I retire some day and start...
no rest for the wicked or punishment for having been lazy... :-)
