How To Store And Display Awards.

Not sure if anyone has thought of this idea but you can simply use those plastic coated metal doll hangers little girls use for their dollhouse. The orders screw down perfectly around the plastic hanger. I think it works great. I also think that the display case needs light to display your stuff nicely. The way the light displays off mine at an angle really adds to their beauty. :thumbsup

Great thinking outside the box and a lovely display. Gives me an idea for a really great chess set....

Very nice indeed! And I like the chess-set idea. That would be fun. Smile

I wouldn't mind seeing the other goodies in that display case, Gary, if ya don't mind. Smile

Here's some more pics. Also included is an example of the hanger you can buy for a buck at most hobby shops. It's got a bendable piece that is rubber coated, which works perfectly not to scratch the metal. I keep most of my medals and excellence badges together in other more conventional displays to show them off as a group.

Here's the top half of my display. I reserve the bottom half for the German American stuff I collect. Sorry for the dark pic. Looks brilliant in a dark room, the picture doesn't do it justice.

Impressive. Do the soviet awards complain about being cooped up together with the fascists?

I can help "liberate" a few of those badges that are just piled together if you like.Wink

This is my first I have been collecting only a year. Hope to to fill the other shelves soon.

I think it is a tobacco tin for victory day, it was feeling lonely all by itselfBig Grin
