Great display and I'll second the request to know more about the display method.

Always on the lookout for better ways to get my "piles" off the floor as well!

Thanks Nonoy, I was inspired by your spear display along your wall, at least my memory makes me believe it was a photo you posted.

Sajen, Iain, my method... briefly
An appropriate length of plastic coated wire cable/rope. In my case, since where I wanted to placed the stretched cable along the wall there were no studs, so I obtained dry wall anchors. I thought a turnbuckle might help keep the cable taut so one was utilized. A few screw hooks and a j-hook. I found some copper crimp connectors along with some small gauge copper wire. A moulding for the Kamps to rest on.
I crimped the copper sleeves along the cable to prevent the blade from sliding . A length of copper wire was crimped along with the copper sleeve on the right side of the blade. The copper wire is then looped behind the blade and tied on the cable to the left of the blade. This is to ensure the sword the Kamp doesn't fly off from behind the cable (hopefully).

On the moulding ,I made a tiny hole for the tip of the blade to rest on.
I hope it makes sense.

A very nice presentation.

Do you have any scabbards hidden in the cupboards? I ask as it would be interesting to see any variations found.

There are certainly a few there I'd like too.
