Bloody hell Robert!
Add some close-ups of that swept hilt Rapier, I need to see the 'mounting system' more clearly!


P.S. and whats the third one down from the top?
Looks rather interesting!

Hello, Thank you for your interest. I will try to get some decent pictures taken of the first sword you ask about tomorrow. It has a strange story as the old woman that I bought it from (who was in her 80s at the time) told me that it and another sword, a kris had been brought back from the Philippines by her Uncle. When I bought it it was covered in layer after layer of silver paint. I missed getting the kris. The third sword down is also from the Philippines, Spanish American War era, probably Luzon. There is more about it including pictures here. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1909

...while baking some cookies one day, i had this vision (no, i wasn't making organic cookies ).
so off to walmart i went, and bought a DIY armoire and some red materials. then to lowe's, where i picked up some 3/4" boards and rollers.
after a week with pieces strewn all over the place, and wifey giving me those dagger looks, my oven inspired weapon cabinet was finally done! now, all i gotta do is open the doors and my babies are right there. just slide the board out.

my version of Weapons of Moroland. bunch of L-shaped hooks. pretty simple

a jersey shadow box frame from hobbylobby, and some strong magnets, to make these royalties looks like they're floating...

Wow impressive. A lot of good ideas.

I try to keep mine in file cabinets with some dessicants, away from the dust.

Here's my Kamp rack courtesy of Ikea.

What a great idea!!!!
I've seen similar flat pack pale wood racks, would never have thought of using the gaps between the planks for the blades!
Great collection BTW!
Whats the bronze cannon at the bottom?
