The unfortunate thing about this is that one can no longer safely display their collection in an open room, and it needs to be kept in a secure place, out of sight. Unless one is fortunate enough to have a seperate room which can to some extent be "fortified", there remains only a large safe, or a hidden place to display ones collection. I have the latter, and although not large, only 2m wide x 600mm deep, it has doors which also serve as a display area, and will in fact hold quite a reasonable number of items.

kahnjar 1. Very nice collection, and excellent use of a small space. With room for more. I do have one observation... The tension, and pressure on the sling of your awsome Martini Henry, will pinch it two, eventually. I've had similar happen to me.

A good point and thanks for that. The problem has been rectified. Thanks also for your kind comments re the collection, and as you say, there is room for more.

This is a very good topic. She is very "warm".
For some reason, it stopped in 2009. Why don't you continue it today?
Perhaps something has changed since that time?
And don't forget to show your four legged, furry Samurai, Rajputs and Janissaries

Beautiful Dhas! Nicely displayed. Also like that you are watching the humidity. A big factor in deciding how, or if to show.

The walls in our house are the display for my collection.

Humidity; the worst of enemies, specially for who lives by the sea (up to 90%).
I keep the (shoulder) guns in the 'spare' room, where i have connected a dehumidifier; gun barrels rust so fast. At night i close the room and a time switch starts the device until 08:00 AM.
