What a fascinating thread! I would like to sincerely thank you for the exposure to these as I have always had a soft-spot for collecting Barbed-wire. I don't collect it myself but my Great-Grandfather did and he had quite the collection and if I remember correctly he had a sample from the very first barbed wire that was sold commercially and a few rather frightening examples from WWI. Those was really thought invoking to a little boy. Anyway thank you again.
Edit:
I had to correct the word collecting to include 2 "L"s. |
