Re: What are your collecting themes?

Re: What are your collecting themes?
Quick question, just to be silly. I was inspired by "firearms used in the shooting sports"
How tolerant are collector's associations on the depth of a theme? I am not a collector but want to ask just for fun, if I was one, could I make very broad themes eg:
Guns under 2 metres long
Guns incorporating steel parts
Guns using a firing pin for primer indentation
Guns firing metallic projectiles
And then I could explain why I felt guns of these types were excellent ;D

Re: What are your collecting themes?
Hi I am in the process of applying to become a collector with SAAACA. I collect and own .22 firearms. Would you say that is too broad a category? I currently have 5 three rifles and 2 pistols and a few waiting in the wings. Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards

Hi Zax
Andy is quite right regarding the depth of a theme.
All my themes have not been approved yet, so unfortunately I can't be of much help at this stage. Shooting sports has been listen as an "acceptable" theme, but you will have to be able to properly motivate it.
Will get back to you on this.

Andy, Wolverine
Thanks guys. I filled out my applications and had another collector check them and recommend me and you guys saved me from a lot. I will now proceed to get poor in the name of collecting.

Hi Zax
Getting poor in the name of collecting - now there's a worthwhile cause if there ever has been one ;D
Enjoy!

Re: What are your collecting themes?
Well here I will try and explain to you what I collect, I will post a few pic's along the way as well, I am also in the process of applying to join SAAAACA, I have already filled out and answered their questions, have to attache a few pic's and send it off to them.
Basically what I collect, or to discribe the actual theme is very difficult, it varies each time I go out
"Hunting" and thus just to get the ball rolling enjoy this first pic.
This pic shows you a brief glimps of myself out "Hunting" with my Minelab, on this particular trip, I found some very interesting items, a very old spade. A steel tent peg and a variety of 303 doppies.
