I managed to just recently find an oak with glass display case in an 2nd hand shop for $30. The glass alone would have cost that. It was just perfect.
I re-stained it, built a false wall to attach the medals of that foam and plastic stick pin board, covered it in black velvet. Put on soom new brass hardware and mounted it on the wall of my den. Now all my collection is all in one display, looks very impressive.
Soviet medals are so beautiful and so much history behind them, to not have them on display would be a shame.
