I'm trying to set up a display for my collection, but I haven't got any good idea. How you store your artefacts? Shelfs, walls pannels? Can you post some pictures of your collections on display?

I have most of my swords on typical seven- to eight-sword racks one buys from a martial arts supplier. Then, spears are in a corner, helmets and bucklers on holders on a top shelf, and the knives, daggers and small axes under glass on a coffee table I bought from Ikea.

Pardon a 'candid' shot .
![]() Cats have no respect ........ ![]() Of course the rest of the living room walls look like an armory . ![]() If you get bored with one drawer's contents you can switch for one of the other two . *yes, we are clutterbugs ... ![]() |

Four legged "pieces" are the best of a collection. This one died six months ago and i still cry for him.
I am lucky i leave in a three bedroomed flat, but my wife is not fond of domestic decorations and other apparatuses, so i am allowed to occupy all corners, armoires, wall spaces, clothroom tops, sometimes together with fire weapons ... all that is possible, and trying to avoid the living room to look like a weapons shop. |

When collecting not just weapons, why is it near impossible to heed the maxim " less is more", trade in every thing and just have a few excellent pieces. Is it possible that collecting is a mild, more tolerable less incapacitating form of "OCD" obsessive compulsive disorder, a knowledgeable one at that

Flavio,
I like the blocks you used for your wall display. Nice method. Rick, The kris on the table on the right, haven't I seen that somewhere before? ![]() |

Fernando, Rick, both of you have awesome displays. Weapons everywhere you look. It's great.
Punal, you have a superb Moro weapons collection. I especially like the SP89 and the M1A (Nat'l match?) Is the scatter gun Benelli or HK? I used to work at RNJ Guns in Carson during the good ole days. My display.... not really a display but a staging area, until I can find room in my closet, under the bed, file cabinets....anywhere?

Kino, I got my SP89, Benelli's (M3, M1 and super Nova), the AR15 colt and 5 more pistols, from Romy himself (owner of RNJ) he was a good friend of mine, I also knew all the salesman there that worked there, most of the time I ask for Romy himself, or Andy, that before things happened! you know what I mean? I used to live in Carson, during early 90's, near Cal State Domiguez. Btw, the Remington scuttergun, I got that from the Orange County Crossroad Gun Show. MA1 was from B&B Garden Grove. Small world man! what made you moved to WA? Last edited by punal; 5th February 2006 at 04:26 AM. |

I've got small children, so display in my home is not an option. Here's a wall in my office. The sword hangers are handy, and permit me to easily rotate through examples from my collection.
