Back in 1994 A saw an advertisement in thr Shot Gun News I think for a barb wire collection.
I thought,,what a cool thing to hang in the shop.. It has served its time wonderfully..
Now, real dusty but still a great conversation piece!
Made by 'Barb Wire John'. They were signed and numbered and came with a nice little history about all sorts of barb wire and BW collecting...
Anyone else ever get one? Or collect barb wire??

ha ha, pretty cool.. I've heard there are serious collectors of it. I even remember once or twice seeing a few strands at the big shows [MAX/SOS] a few years ago.
This one is cool. VERY dusty from hanging in shop. The wood and everything is beautiful when all cleaned up.. This has been vacuumed/wiped a few times and still dusty [cuts to the fingers!]! Was hanging in corner of shop for years. Oil, with dust over it!
I'll get it done though!

I'm aware of people who collect American barb wire and the variations seem endless.
