I've also created magnetic stands.I can use them for any sort of sword, knife, axe...even with scabbard. Useless to have one stand for one knife, it's easy to change when I want !

Hey Luc, can I come over? When's the next party? I bring a bottle.... Impressive collection.

REALLY GREAT THREAD!!!!!!!!!! Not that I have anything further to contribute in the way of useful ways to display stuff, but......................thanks to those who have posted pics of their wonderful and VERY interesting items as a result of this subject

Atlantia, I posted the pictures of the Rapier in the European Armoury forum hoping to get more information on it than I have now, which is little to none. If you wouldn't mind please take a look at it there and if you would like I can even post close-ups of the 'mounting system'.

Thank you for your interest and thanks to all the others for sharing their ideas and wonderful displays with the rest of us in this great thread.

Most of my stuff is hung via rare earth magnets and small picture hooks with blued hardened steel nails and a bit of blued steel wire. The bottom photo I used a walking stick holder for some of my spears and clubs.

Wow! Great idea for stands. Fantastic collection!

Scary collection of throwing knives!

I'm loving the theme! Makes me think I should specialise, looks amazing.

Atlantia · 27th January 2009, 02:50 PM

Love the set-up and display! Do you make the perspex stands yourself?

They look great, I'm always torn as to if I want clear perspex so as to get the best 'view' of the item, or dark wood to have a more 'antique' look.
I think that as you've done, a mixture looks best!

I use broom/mop holders to keep Northern Luzon (Philipppines) spears standing in attention :-)

Some ask me why I keep spears at home ....

I say... "to be better prepared in case the Japanese invade again"

Old ifugaw and igorot friends who lived through WWII get a big laugh!

Here are a couple of my things - I like to display my PI/Moro stuff with textiles when possible.

Jose, you have a spendid display! I especially like how you integrated the textiles and the weaponry.

yo rick didn't wanna hijack this thread, so what about starting a new thread with our other companions, lol. i would, but you have the final say, so if you don't mind starting it? i guess there teeth could count as ethnographic weapons?

Rick · 27th January 2009, 04:28 PM
