So the conversation could go. . .


. . . Would-be collector aka WBC): I'd like to start a collection of pistols used in WW1.

FEO: Do you have a FAC?

WBC: Yes, I do.

FEO: Well, you can buy one, to get your collection started. Then you can add additional ones.


Or, would you be required to start off your collection with WW1 rifles, uniforms, and other items not Section 7.1?

Collectors tend to specialize, anyway. If they don't start specialized, they quickly become so. The collector might be interested only in pistols of the era.
