If i could even have just 3-4 really nice antique ethnographic weapons I'd be contend for years...

I look at the beautiful collections displayed in this thread and wonder about security in this modern age. It seems that ones personal property, which used to be respected by others, is no longer held in this regard. A shame, and an indicment on modern society!
The unfortunate thing about this is that one can no longer safely display their collection in an open room, and it needs to be kept in a secure place, out of sight. Unless one is fortunate enough to have a seperate room which can to some extent be "fortified", there remains only a large safe, or a hidden place to display ones collection. I have the latter, and although not large, only 2m wide x 600mm deep, it has doors which also serve as a display area, and will in fact hold quite a reasonable number of items.

kahnjar 1. Very nice collection, and excellent use of a small space. With room for more.

I do have one observation... The tension, and pressure on the sling of your awsome Martini Henry, will pinch it two, eventually. I've had similar happen to me.

Most keris are kept in their bags in a chest except for a few favorites which are displayed .

This is an old family chest which I have selected to store them in .
A sort of Pusaka itself .

There is a play on words in the crest .

Yes Jose, it runs in the family ..
