Weapons display 'themes'

M ELEY · 24th November 2017, 11:37 PM

Pewter items dating to the Age of Sail, along with Revolutionary War era items, such as the powder keg, tell a story about the items.

Excelent scenario, Captain. Time to buy a new camera and add the present one to your nice age of sail collection

A great way to display maritime items is against a backdrop of an old map/ seachart either under glass on a desktop or on the wall behind.

Fernando, I agree. I've had it with the cheapo camera and will upgrade, perhaps you would like to send me one as a Christmas present?!

Ibrahiim, I agree. I've had my eye on a real (versus the repro and modern maps) sea chart at the same art dealer that I bought the dog lock musket from. I was hoping others might show their weapons display themes. Come on, guys. You know you want to!

Cathey always does a brilliant Victorian Christmas theme that looks just like what you would expect an English gentleman's study c. 19th c. to look like. Can't wait to see what she'll have for us this year!

Indeed , Fernando!!

Very nicely done Mark. It is something that always seemed logical to me.
Now, shake out a reef and get that camera!

Thank you Jim, Richard, and Fernando for your comments. Jim, I can always get you with a pirate theme, my commodore!

Yes, gents, I will dump the old camera and get something better. soon!
