Wow! Nice stuff, Doc! I like the Polish display and especially the Mongolian collection.
Also, the colored discs behind some items are nice touch.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks Guys!!! I only have wallspace for three more displays and one space is for the Polish Order of Virtuti Militari once I pay off the Grand cross. There are also two displays a Replica of Saddam hussein's medal bar as seen in the portrait in the display and pieces of his bunker under his main palace in Baghdad and the Unknown Bulgarian Veteran of the First Balkan War which you've already seen.

The total display of the replica of Saddam's Medal Bar.

Absolutely fantastic stuff Doc.

Ah, wall space...After I removed some family photos from the stairwell wall, I've been banned to my office only - with the exception of stand-alone frames.

I especially like the way you label things and name the the orders that need to be (e.g. Service to the Motherland); it makes one feel as though they were in a museum - which to me is pretty much what this is all about.

I got 3 su table medals (plagues): bronze; LMD strike; 60mm diameter. really want to frame them and hang on the wall, just can't figure it out, how to?

If you got any experience or an idea, please share it. It is appreciated.

I have some coins framed in pressure between the glass and velvet.
