Weapons display 'themes'

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!

Hey Cap'n Mark,
Consider my timbers shivered!!! These are fantastic displays and BTW, and your photos really capture the essence of your stuff!!!! It is easy to see how you write so well of 'the Brethren' as you are pretty much living in the context.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" move over, 'Pirate Straits' rocks!!!

Thank you for sharing this!!!!
