How To Store And Display Awards.

[Dolf]

Robert,


"The only problem I have with the Riker Mounts is the continual bouncing and banging of the medals against the glass when you are handling them. ... I like Dave's cases because there is ample room between the medals and the glass front."

I have one question: If not fixed by the pressure of the glass, how do the Awards stay in place with those Riker Mounts? With Velcro, as I've seen some manufacturers of different Display Cases do? Or with clips (which kind? how do they work? can't see them on your pic!), as I believe it is mentionned by Ed.

Indian River Cases (Dave's Cases) : There is no room at all between the medals and the glass! Mine has 2" depth, equal to 5.0802 cm (and I believe it's the case for Dave's ones), so the Awards are fixed to the foam or the Velvet exactly by the pressure of glass against them!

One last question: I checked the link to those Riker Mounts dealer, and noticed the depth for all of them is 3/4". Is this three quarters of an inch? So in "cm" that would be?...
Anyway, if with a 2" depth the Awards are under pressure of the glass, with a 3/4" in theory the pressure would be much higher, right?

Thanks a lot,

Dolf
