The exhibition features a collection of 50 swords and daggers, including a bronze sword from Luristan, Iran, (1500 b.c.), the oldest in the collection, and a Schivona from Venice, Italy, (1600-1650 a.d.). It provides an exceptional panoramic view of the origins, development, and ultimate evolution of this type of edged weapon. All swords and daggers are excellent to superlative examples of their type. A few are so rare that they may be the only ones in known existence. Active Duty Military $3.
