I'm trying to set up a display for my collection, but I haven't got any good idea. How you store your artefacts? Shelfs, walls pannels? Can you post some pictures of your collections on display?

I have most of my swords on typical seven- to eight-sword racks one buys from a martial arts supplier. Then, spears are in a corner, helmets and bucklers on holders on a top shelf, and the knives, daggers and small axes under glass on a coffee table I bought from Ikea.

Flavio your treasures are displayed most handsomely. A large part of mine look like a junk shop

Pardon a 'candid' shot .
![]() Cats have no respect ........ ![]() Of course the rest of the living room walls look like an armory . ![]() If you get bored with one drawer's contents you can switch for one of the other two . *yes, we are clutterbugs ... ![]() |

When collecting not just weapons, why is it near impossible to heed the maxim " less is more", trade in every thing and just have a few excellent pieces. Is it possible that collecting is a mild, more tolerable less incapacitating form of "OCD" obsessive compulsive disorder, a knowledgeable one at that

BTW Rick, that vicious looking four-legged weapon with all the fur around the "blades", it's exact twin brother occupies a place in my collection as well.

Four legged "pieces" are the best of a collection. This one died six months ago and i still cry for him.
I am lucky i leave in a three bedroomed flat, but my wife is not fond of domestic decorations and other apparatuses, so i am allowed to occupy all corners, armoires, wall spaces, clothroom tops, sometimes together with fire weapons ... all that is possible, and trying to avoid the living room to look like a weapons shop. |

Super things fernando, we also get another look at that special African knife with the two snakes and human figures on the handle. This picture has captured and is showing us that it does indeed have a respectable age to it. Very nice. Tim

Fernando, Rick, both of you have awesome displays. Weapons everywhere you look. It's great.
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. My display.... not really a display but a staging area, until I can find room in my closet, under the bed, file cabinets....anywhere?

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? Last edited by punal; 5th February 2006 at 04:26 AM. |

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? |
