Wall display in progress
 

Working hard on the heap and finally sorting the wheat from the chaff and getting the 'keepers' on display ... its only taken 30 years of indecision !

What does your wife say?

Good stuff !

Impressive!
The first shield on the left, from what culture is it from?

Thanks for sharing.

Really nice collection !!
All africans items ?

For your wife opinion,

I guess it's not the kitchen wall ! ;)

Nice work.

Thank you ... well the item to which you refer is not a shield it is a hat from the western Sahel region .

Looking good! Share the blades on the takoubas some time. ;)

Very nice display indeed. I like the bedouin sword, the scabbard looks great.

Thank you ... as for my wife , I am very lucky ... she loves weaponry too .... here is a picture of her bedside table .....

will do , thanks

ha ha .... see the picture of her bedside table ...

Thank you Colin , and thanks for your help over the years

:) :) :) Respect !! :cool:

I like it and envy you a little!

How did you attch the weapons to the wall?

:D Better not make her cross! Seriously, you did a nice display. It looks a bit like an armoury, which I like.

Yes well I know I must behave ! Thank you for your comments ... I always wanted to be a museum curator but no one would employ me ! So I have to have my own little museum. I enjoy arranging displays .

Mostly I use small brass picture hanging hooks and wire loops .... then to get the right angle if necessary I will augment them with 1 inch brass panel pins . I have found such an arrangement strong enough for any items as they are designed to support even heavy framed pictures.

Thank you

Very nice displays! :)

I like the pushdaggers. looks like old/antique ones.

Best regards,
Willem

Ps. the eastern africa / sahel display is nice too
;)

Thank you

Thank you for the idea! :)

So you can easily remove them and put them back without any permanent damage to the wall, right?!

Sweeet!!! Nice display.

Great collections!!

Oh yes the holes left are very tiny indeed .... and because they are only hooked on , I can remove them easily for cleaning or inspection.

Thank you Ian , I am working on my Sudan wall next !
