To ask for opinions on one of the forums of what the current market value might be for several very good quality production knives and replica swords I've rediscovered while going through our storage closets? If so, which would be the most appropriate?
Over the years I've accumulated quite a bit of stuff, mostly firearms and related things but apparently a good many more knives and edged tools/weapons than I'd realized. I'm trying to put together a sort of inventory listing all of my firearms, edged weapons and similar items and an approximate value for each of them for my wife's protection should she choose to sell or otherwise dispose of them after my death.
Evaluating the firearms has been pretty easy. Between the standard reference books and browsing the various auction sites one can develop a fairly solid idea of what a particular item might bring.
The knives, swords, etc. are proving a good deal more difficult, as it seems that many of the items I have are either been out of production for several years, are somewhat esoteric, or both. So far, many hours of searching the internet have yielded very little in the way of results.
As someone new to your forum, I'd much prefer not to commit a breech of etiquette with my first posting.
