Finally, my Hero comes out of seclusion... Hope the newly promoted grandpa is doing fine.

Well Barry, as always, I'm impressed. When I grow up, I want to be just like you.

And a lot of work to mount them all. What fraction of your collection have you managed to mount so far, Barry?

Congrats on a very eclectic and excellent collection.

THE ADVANTAGES TO DISPLAYS ARE THAT THEY ARE FUN TO DO AND YOU CAN ENJOY SEEING YOUR COLLECTION DAILY EVEN IF IT IS JUST IN PASSING BY. VISITORS WHO ARE NOT INTERESTED IN LOOKING THRU A BUNCH OF CABINENTS OR BOXES AT YOUR STUFF CAN OFTEN APPRECIATE A NICE DISPLAY. THE DISADVANTAGES ARE DUST, BUGS, SPIDERWEBS AND THEY ARE READILY ACCESABLE TO THIEVES. THEY SHOULD BE CHECKED REGULARY TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT BEING DAMMAGED BY THE METHOD OF DISPLAY,BUGS OR MOISTURE. IT IS NOT GOOD TO HAVE THEM IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR TOO NEAR VENTS, HEAT OR AIR CONDITIONING BLOWING ON THEM IS NOT GOOD. THEY CAN BE BOOBY TRAPPED, BUT YOU MUST BE CAUTIOUS AS GETTING OLDER AND MORE FORGETFUL CAN LEAD TO MEETING THE POLICE AT THE DOOR OR FINDING YOURSELF CAUGHT AND HANGING FROM THE CELING FAN

great, great collection, barry. also, thank you for the tips you've given. even if i can amass an eight of your moro collection's size i won't have any room on the wall to display it, lol. here's my paltry display (compared to yours) using the "Weapons of Moroland" plaque as an inspiration. the three swords by themselves is to the right wall of this display. i hope everyone else would post their display. enjoy

Me in my small corner . I think it just about qualifies as a display. The rest are hung randomly if with a little thought in a bedroom and stored on shelves in the same room. Tim
