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.

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?

SWEET MERCY!!! That's a lot of keris

A question to all of you hardcore collectors: any special climatic conditions for your weapons? Humid/dry, cool or warm? There's people here from all over the world, so how do the weapons fare?

Wow indeed! I love the artistic arrangement you have created, especially that wave of keris leading up to the ceiling on the right. The only reason this would not work for me is my own constant desire to handle, inspect and oil and cense my keris. So i need my blades a little more at hand. Some of yours are a little too inconviniently placed for my own personal purposes. But otherwise a fantastic presentation. Thanks for showing.

BTW Naga Sasra, i count more than 100 keris in this one picture and i am sure you have a few more that aren't showing. Your "disease" is even more advanced than mine. Thanks for this display. I can show it to my wife next time she questions my sanity or wonders where i will put my next keris. She will then see how easy she actually has it.

This system is easy to install, change as needed, makes the knives accessible
and requires no special tools. 2 nails, some 28 gauge black wire and a brass or nylon washer.

Naga Sasra, that sweeping display just blows me away, fabulous even if many are out of reach. Speaking of out of reach, I put several items at ladder level several years ago after a good waxing:

for me, the exposure, it is only when friends want to see my collection.
But in the future, I would have a room for my collection. 5 meters * 6 meters

Wonderful display Naga Sasra !
One can only wonder what further delights await down the hallway .
By what method are they all suspended on the wall ?

Thank you for the kind words, I can tell you that the use of the walls in my family room and the hallway took a lot of (expensive) negotiation with my wife to get the space allocated.

MANOLO: Living here in South Florida expose my Keris to the highly corrosive enviroment that nature can provide, heat, moisture and an occational bad wind, this problem is solved with the exeption of the bad winds, by having the house at a nearly constant temperature using the air conditioning system year round, this also lower the moisture (humidity) content to an acceptable level.

nechesh: I also have a constant desire to handle my pieces, which I do at least on a yearly basis, where they are cleaned and scented and oiled, and it seems to be working as I have noticed no corrosion on the blades. They are in fact very easy to get down the way they are mounted.

RICK: The hallway is also occupied all the way down and so is the opposite wall in the family room but to a much lesser extend.
They are mounted with three 1 5/8' white panel nails if they are on an angle, two where the gambar meet the gandar and one to support the angle. If they are hung straight just two is necessary. Once the nails are in place I use 28 GA green painted wire (corrosion free) between the two nails and they are locked in place, yet easy to take down and reinstall, the wire can be reused over and over.

Best regards to you all

A VERY NEAT DISPLAY OF KERIS, WITH THE WHITE BACKGROUND IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE A FLOCK OF KERIS FLYING TOGETHER I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO ADD TO ANY OF MY DISPLAYS LATELY AS I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO HANG THEM ON THE CELING YET PICTURES OF OTHERS COLLECTIONS AND DISPLAYS IS THE NEXT BEST THING TO SEEING THE COLLECTIONS IN PERSON. THANKS FOR THE PIC'S GUYS IT ALWAYS MAKES FOR A GOOD TOPIC.
