Trenchwarfare, I really cannot remember who I bought the bolo from. It came in a lot of four that I won on ebay. If you are the one who sold them to me thank you very much as I really enjoy them. Here is where they were posted before. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=3425

Spunjer, What a great idea for a display case, open when needed and closed when not. My bet is it holds dusting down to a minimum, something that racks like I have require alot of.

Robert. My sword was sold as a single. Identicle though. Buyer said that it was a Spanish American War Naval cutlass, for Philippine sailors in Spanish service. M.P.

Excellent ideas gentlemen! Good reuse Trenchwarfare!

Love the collections Spunjer, Great way to keep them safe and still easy to see!

I had problems displaying helmets and finding stands that weren't too huge to fit on a shelf.
For a while I was using this 19thC Nepalese Oil Lamp to display a Khud with long chainmail:

Seems a shame for such a nice object, but it still gets pressed into service for helmets that are a bit large or long or very heavy.

But I wanted a permenant solution that would be good for most helmets and be cheap and simple.

Here it is!

What am I using?

LOL, Kitchen tissue towel holder! Wooden and available for about a pound or two from many outlets.

I have a valve from a V-24 Off-shore deisel, I use for a helmet stand. Stainless steel, 12" tall, with a 6" base. Weighs about 5lbs.
