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

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 for the idea!

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

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.
