since March 1, 1996.
The Internet/WWW has historically been lacking in information about
swords, sword collecting, fencing and the like. This page is dedicated to providing
information for those of you with such honorable interests.
After receiving my B.S. in Zoology from Duke University, I completed my M.D. degree at the University of South Florida. I have finished a Head and Neck Surgery Residency at the Eastern Virginia Graduate School of Medicine and currently am in the midst of a two year fellowship in Head and Neck Oncologic Surgery at the University of Washington School of Medicine. In my precious little spare time, I am an avid sword collector, fencer and scavenger of all things related to swords and swordplay.
The sword collecting newsgroup is regularly dead. If you would like to discuss the collecting, purchasing, history or care of swords, just leave a message. I am also currently looking for a Salle in my new hometown. If you have any information that might be of help, please don't hesitate to drop me a line.
The Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, England has quite an excellent collection of arms and armour as well as demonstrations. Many of the pieces were removed from the Tower of London. The site is now the largest armoury in the U.K. In the USA, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has a fine collection of arms and armour; it's even free on Sundays.
