Can I buy ancient swords?
Yes, you can sometimes buy ancient swords. However, many of the weapons that survive from ancient times are already in the collections of museums and unlikely to go on sale. When they are available, you will usually find them selling for high prices at auctions. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of antique swords.
