Original Japanese edged weapons for collection and as a gift

Collectible antiques, military rarities and trophies of past warriors are always in a special place among connoisseurs of antiquities and antiques. And such people have been and will always be. Collections of captured weapons decorated both the chambers of the Roman patricians and the castles of the crusaders.

In Russia, collecting unusual ancient things became especially popular under Emperor Peter the First in the 18th century, who himself strongly supported the import of unusual artifacts into Russia. It is worth noting that already under Peter the import of rarities and antiquities was not subject to taxes; on the contrary, it was encouraged. Among the noble class, collecting has become ubiquitous; the foundations of museum collections such as the Pushkin Museum and the Hermitage Museum consist precisely of private collections collected in the 18th and 19th centuries. Here is a very revealing text from the book “Moscow and Muscovites” - a book by Vladimir Gilyarovsky, describing the traditions, life and customs of Moscow in the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries. In particular, here is a description of a typical noble estate: “There was also a room: “dead room.” This is the most cheerful room, illuminated by a dark red lantern from the ceiling. Along the walls are various fossil mound antiquities, whole plateaus of ancient earrings and rings, weapons - dating back to the Stone Age - chain mail, helmets, reeds, scimitars. Along the walls there are wide Turkish sofas, in front of them there are tables with matches and ashtrays, and a hookah for amateurs. They sit, laugh, chat incessantly... Someone is strumming a balalaika, someone is dozing. And they called it “dead” because in the morning those who drank too much or who were very far from home usually slept on these sofas...”

You can collect anything. If we consider collectible artifacts in the context of military paraphernalia, then we must pay tribute, first of all, to genuine collectible weapons. In this section you will find collectible edged weapons from Japan, Asia and the East. Original bayonets, sabers, katanas and daggers.

Edged weapons (daggers, sabers and broadswords), MMGs (deactivated firearms), weapon accessories and equipment of this time are an indicator of the level of development of military production of a particular power, the personification of the technical level and scientific potential, since it is military technologies that are always one step ahead civilian Products “with history”, displayed in a glass display case, can become an original decoration of the restaurant hall. Antiques from Japan will be the best gift for a collector or someone who is interested in the traditions and customs of the Land of the Rising Sun.

“Elite weapons. Iranians Iran occupies a special place in the Near and Middle East. The political and cultural influence that Iran had on its surrounding states was enormous. It was here that, back in the Middle Ages, the principles of military art were systematized and formulated, which were reflected in the military affairs of Byzantium, Transcaucasia and Central Asia. Acting as a trendsetter in the field of military culture, Iran has long produced standard models of weapons and weapons, which they tried to imitate outside Western Asia. However, the quality of analogues was often inferior to the originals, since the artisans who were part of the guild associations tried to keep secret the secrets of making weapons. Therefore, weapons, in particular saber blades, produced in the weapons centers of Iran, for example in Isfahan, were especially valued throughout the East and among weapons experts in Modern Europe.”
