Covering all including armour but I did a quick " head count " and may be off by a few especially armour where I didn't count some miscellaneous maille and some helms I purchased from an Albion moat sale a long time back that where probably made by Windlass but I'm not sure who made them.

I may have missed something I didn't remember about under a pile of stuff ..... Wink

Eric McHugh: (1) Viking/Saxon axe

John Gage: (1) Ballock Dagger

Ok, this is going to make me look cheap but expensive if you know what I mean...

Windlass: 22-24 (Not sure on how many spearheads I have and am probably missing something, since I'm away from my collection and am doing this from memory.)

Hanwei: 3

Tinker Pearce (Stock Hanwei, not custom): 2

Cold Steel: 2 (Wasters)

Daisy Red Rider: 2 (I guess BB guns kind of count, right?)

Unknown/Assorted knives, hatchets, tomahawks, wallhangers, cheap daggers, sticks, etc: 16 (I think....)

Total: 47-49

Huh... I need to get me something a little higher in quality in there. I didn't realize how many millions of cheap Windlass I have until counting them out in my head.

Last I did some math, I had a little over $2,000 sunk into this collection (not counting the assorted knives and crap I've been collecting since forever), but with my relatively recent MRL Deal of the Day habit and Bruce Brookhart selling me some pieces I'm probably much closer to $3,000 now. Could have had one or two high end Albions or custom toys if I had saved the money and blown it all at once.

Eh, I'll do that at some point. Laughing Out Loud

Edit: And Jean, you may be surprised at reaching 100, but I'm not surprised at all. Wink
