The cost of antique weapons

If you want to sell a premium weapon at a fair price, you need to know its value.

For this purpose, its examination and valuation are carried out. This is not an easy task, dozens of different factors are taken into account.

The price of edged weapons depends not only on its age. When evaluating it, first of all, attention is paid to the chips that arose during operation, whether certain parts were replaced or whether this is the original sample. It's only fair that you can sell a sword for more if you have it in perfect condition and stored correctly. Rarely in the manufacture of cortices and daggers noble metals are used, precious stones – for the entire handle or the application of decorative patterns, emblems. Each of them is evaluated separately. The steel of the blade itself is also different, the composition of the alloy also requires evaluation and affects the cost. In general, there are 4 main factors that determine the price of antique edged weapons:

– qualitative characteristics of the product;

– physical condition (presence / absence of chips, performance, lack of replacement of parts and elements);

– year of manufacture and type of weapon (mass production, limited series, made to order);

– Historical value. An analysis is being carried out whether these weapons are associated with famous personalities to whom they belonged in the past.

What kind of edged weapons do we buy?

We are ready to purchase any collectible weapons that carry historical and cultural value. This is:

• Eastern weapons are Sabers of the Shamshir, Kilic and Mameluke types, created by masters of the East. These weapons are very difficult to evaluate, but if they are real, and even more so belonged to the nobility, they are very expensive. The handles and blades of such knives were decorated with exquisite patterns of precious materials, unique engravings that make them priceless. Analogues without decor are valued less, but they also enjoy the attention of collectors who are willing to pay a lot of money for oriental weapons.
• medieval weapons – often we are talking about battle blades of the 15th to 17th centuries, which were used on the European continent.
• ritual weapons – like Masonic swords that are of interest primarily from the point of view of historical value and the development of religion.
• African weapons are unusual for a European, they represent a completely different culture. There are collectors who are only interested in African knives.
• European weapons are different samples of edged weapons that were used in military operations on the territory of France, Germany, Belgium, Italy until the twentieth century.
• Russian weapons and cold steel weapons of the USSR military, award, service model. These specimens are most often found on the territory of our country – a legacy from grandfathers and great-grandfathers. But believe me, among them there are very interesting specimens.
• award and military weapons of the Third Reich, Germany and Prussia. Ceremonial blades, cortices, daggers and sabers, runes to them. The most valued are limited editions and weapons associated with historical figures.
• naval weapons – it has survived much less than land. Therefore, samples of weapons of naval officers and pirates are valued higher.
• Caucasian weapons, Transcaucasian weapons. First of all, we are talking about Circassian blades and Dagestan sabers, Kabardian daggers.
• Japanese weapons are unique. Each blade of the katana and wakizashi carries the character and handwriting of the master who created it. Japanese swords were never created en masse until World War II, each blade forged for a specific warrior. Therefore, Japanese blades are very valuable.
• Cossack weapons – Zaporozhye Cossacks used both weapons of their own production and trophies obtained in battle. Most often there are checkers, sabers and daggers, but there are also buzdygans, trophy Turkish yatagans, clubs, cleavs.
