I'm not sure one can define what a "typical" sword collection is, but I am just wondering roughly how many swords the members here have collected over the years. I have friends who own many hundreds, and sometimes even thousands of pocket watches, but swords take up a lot more room than watches. (My own watch collection was never that large, as I have focused on quality and I have chosen to specialize on particular scarce kinds of watches. It is fewer than 60 pieces today.) I inherited six swords from a late friend last year and have added seven since then, so I am now up to thirteen. But do most of the folks here count their collections in dozens, scores, or hundreds?
