Excellent ideas gentlemen! Good reuse Trenchwarfare!

Love the collections Spunjer, Great way to keep them safe and still easy to see!

I had problems displaying helmets and finding stands that weren't too huge to fit on a shelf.
For a while I was using this 19thC Nepalese Oil Lamp to display a Khud with long chainmail:

Seems a shame for such a nice object, but it still gets pressed into service for helmets that are a bit large or long or very heavy.

But I wanted a permenant solution that would be good for most helmets and be cheap and simple.

Here it is!

What am I using?

LOL, Kitchen tissue towel holder! Wooden and available for about a pound or two from many outlets.
