I found that a lighted dedicated display case with Windows on 3 sides, and a mirrored back worked the best for me. (I have three!)
Hi Craig. Yes, my interest has always been towards collecting the whole package, with my main interest being in the blades themselves. Display and storage is always an issue as my collection must be near 100 keris at this point. I have a dedicated room in the house for them. My wife insists upon it.
