A melee weapons collection could be historical, focusing on artifacts from periods like the Middle Ages or Renaissance, or modern, including replicas or fictional designs inspired by games and media (e.g., the weapons of Hades 2 like the Witch’s Staff or Moonstone Axe). Collectors might value these items for their craftsmanship, historical significance, or aesthetic appeal, often displaying them in museums, private galleries, or personal armories. The condition, rarity, and origin of each piece—whether forged from iron, steel, or even ceremonial materials—would greatly influence its place in the collection.
