Sword collecting is a fun activity and an investment. Swords also make a good addition to the decor of a home. We hope you can find collectible Russian swords and sabres contained on our eBay page useful. If you are looking for swords as an investment and are torn between buying a newer (WWII era) or older (1800's on down) the best thing to do is to figure out which attracts you the most and stick to that. While currently the Russian Tsarists Era appears to be in more demand, not that long ago it was the German WWII Militaria items were going up in value.
