About Me
Welcome to The Eastern Edge. My name is Harry Wagner. I am a retired software engineer living in Columbus Ohio and have been an avid collector and student of Eastern arms and armor for over 10 years. I started the Eastern Edge in 2024 as a means to sell and trade items from my personal collection and I consider this site a natural extension of my hobby. My primary interest is in Middle Eastern edged weapons but I also collect, trade and sell other Eastern and Islamic weapons. Please feel free to contact me. I love hearing from other antique arms and armor enthusiasts. Thank you for visiting!

Kuwait City, KuwaitMarch 2024 Harry once sold to me a silver shibriya, he did so, upon knowing that it'll directly benefit my research on the rather elusive history of those daggers. From that day, we've had very positive communication and business and Harry provided excellent pieces for my collection! Harry describes items well, commits his effort into accurate condition report and details. He also does not spare any effort to provide an excellent purchase, value for money items that benefit both researchers and collectors alike. I highly recommend him!

USA April 2024 I've known Harry for many years, and what started as a casual conversation regarding a particular Eastern sword became a long lasting friendship that deeply benefited both of us on professional and personal levels. During these years we often discussed and questioned many items. But what I never questioned, and never had any reason to, was Harry's honesty, decency and character. My respect for Harry grew stronger overtime, and so did our friendship. I cannot recommend Harry strongly enough to anyone, a novice and top-level collector alike, as one of the most professional, honest and pleasant to deal with individuals you'll ever come across. I am glad I did, and am sure you will be also.
