I thought it would be interesting to see the breakdown of people's collections in a couple of different ways. I figured I'd start with makers. What's the breakdown of your collection by maker? Here's mine:

Hanwei x 1. (Bushido)

-

Coldsteel x 1. (Bokken)

Much of my collection is shown in my Collection Gallery here on myArmoury.com. Some pages aren't completed yet because I have't done the photos or written the descriptions, but I think these are close to the totals:

Albion: 2
Arma Bohemia: 4
Arms & Armor: 6
Ben Potter: 1
CASI/Hanwei: 1
E.B. Erickson: 8 swords, 3 unmounted hilts
English Cutler: 1
Eric McHugh: 1
JF Schroeder: 2
Michael Dabeck: 1
Peter Johnsson: 1
Phoenix Metal Creations: 5
Patrick Barta/TEMPL: 1
Steve Moffatt: 1
Tod's Stuff: 7
Vince Evans: 4
Windlass: 4

Total: 53 items counted here

Plus a few antiques and random things.

Albion: 7
Arms & Armor: 5
Ben Potter: 1
Owen Bush: 2
Paul Binns: 2
Tod's Stuff: 2
Total: 19

Del Tin: 6 swords, one ballock knife (all thru MRL, back in the day...)
Neil Burridge (all bronze): 5 sword blades, 1 knife blade, 2 axe blades, 2 spear heads
Albion: 1 steel sword, 2 bronze swords, 1 bronze axe head, 1 steel axe head, 1 bronze dagger blade, 1 Norman helmet
Windlass: 1 sword (since rehilted), one spearhead
Mike Kasner: 1 bronze axe, 1 bronze javelin head
Mark Morrow: 1 gladius blade (I hilted it), 1 pilum head
Chris Levatino: 1 bronze sword blade, 1 bronze spearhead
Native Way: half a dozen bronze javelin points, 1 small bronze spear point, 1 bronze axe head
Michael Luznicky: 1 Roman helmet
Joe Piela: 1 Greek Corinthian helmet

I do all the hilts and hafts for my bronze weapons (except the Kasner axe), and I make almost all my own armor, helmets, and shields. Three of my helmets are made from spun brass domes, and 4 or 5 from converted modern Civil Defense helmets ("Ha! One-piece bowls!")--I have yet to dish or raise a bowl in one piece! REALLY want to make more armor and helmets...

Hm...

My collection goes threw a lot of changes... at one time it was double the size it currently is. However... the current make up:

A&A - 1
Albion - 1
Atrim - 4
BKS (Baltimore Knife and Sword) - 2
Cas/Hanwei - 1
Cold Steel - 3
Fable Blades - 4
Gen 2(Legacy Arms) - 2
Kensei(Oni Forge) - 4
Kris Cutlery - 1
Mad Dwarf Workshop - 2
Musasshi - 1
Odinblades - 2
Tinker - 2
Traditional Filipino Weapons - 2
Valiant Armory - 1

And many from other makers that I can't pin-point off the top of my head.
Windlass - 2

Swords - not counting daggers, helms, shields

Albion - 9
ATrim - 11
Arms and Armor - 6
Armart - 1
Del Tin - 7
E. B. Erickson - 2 hilts (blades by ATrim and A&A)

My intent was not to limit these counts to swords only. In fact, it's even more interesting to see which makers are represented throughout your collections, not just in the swords.
