Robert. My sword was sold as a single. Identicle though. Buyer said that it was a Spanish American War Naval cutlass, for Philippine sailors in Spanish service. M.P.

Excellent ideas gentlemen! Good reuse Trenchwarfare!
Love the collections Spunjer, Great way to keep them safe and still easy to see! I had problems displaying helmets and finding stands that weren't too huge to fit on a shelf. For a while I was using this 19thC Nepalese Oil Lamp to display a Khud with long chainmail: ![]() Seems a shame for such a nice object, but it still gets pressed into service for helmets that are a bit large or long or very heavy. But I wanted a permenant solution that would be good for most helmets and be cheap and simple. Here it is! ![]() What am I using? LOL, Kitchen tissue towel holder! Wooden and available for about a pound or two from many outlets. ![]() |

I have a valve from a V-24 Off-shore deisel, I use for a helmet stand. Stainless steel, 12" tall, with a 6" base. Weighs about 5lbs.

I've also created magnetic stands.I can use them for any sort of sword, knife, axe...even with scabbard. Useless to have one stand for one knife, it's easy to change when I want !
