Some of my nicer orders. Best pic I can manage for now. But they will improve.

I use the same method to display as Dave. Awards gently pressed between glass and velvet (or in this case, ultra suede)

You can mount the case vertically, on a wall, stand it up on a desk or credenza, turn it upside down and shake it, hand it to a friend to examine and nothing will move.

Then you can open it, turn the awards over and put them back where they belong with no bother. If you want you can lock these cases for a little more security.

RBL: An update since I added more to it.

It looks better in the shadow box but it took a better picture pulling it off the wall and out from under glass. So now we have the root soviet red banner of labor, Czech, albanian, north korean, mongolian, yugoslavian, polish, hungarian, and DDR. The mongolian is my favorite but the czech, yugo, and polish are especially beautiful to hold. Still have room for one more...

I am new at this, but couldn't resist showing off I am trying to complete a collection of BOHs (screwbacks are stored separately).

Wow Alexei!!
So, all those suspension BOH are different variations and types? I didn't know there were so many.

Please post more to this thread as I am sure you have a very wonderful collection that worth seeing.

Hey Alexie, where do you find the cases such as yours? I need to find somewhere to store my medals, they are currently sitting in a drawer in my dresser.

Well, I call them variations, and not just because they have different serial numbers. In fact, this is a collection of some odd pieces, mint errors and legit variations.

The campaign medal map is great

I wish I'd thought of it. Congratulations. It would certainly be pricey to put that together now.
