How To Store And Display Awards.

[Dolf]

Sean,

Thanks a lot for the link.

Apparently these are made of cardboard, am I right?

Well, I recently received my last order from IR. This time, together with another 18x24x2" Hardwood Display Case (all mine are Walnut) for the 1st time I also ordered a couple of their "Black Collector Frames" (commonly called Riker mounts) that I intend to use for that "cheaper stuff" (Ribbon bars, Mong. Frienship pins, etc) as I was starting to really lack of place again, with the latest addition of quite a few Mong. Badges.
I'm not convinced by these cardboard displays...

So, so far, imho nothing beats those beautiful IR Hardwood Display Cases. The price is excellent for the final quality (the only thing that makes me :mad: is the shipping costs, but that's the way it is, they only charge what they pay for, it's just a question of weight), and at least so far (and as far as I know) no one complained about having his collection ruined by acid or lignin or some other bad product in those particular Displays. I'm extremely satisfied with them (Thanks a lot Dave!) and as long as I find nothing better (still waiting for Jim to enlight and help us all by letting us know where to find better stuff) that's what I'll keep using.
Don't worry, if it happens that I notice some deterioration of any of my pieces, and I guess there are quite a few different metals involved, silver, gold, platina, brass, aluminium, etc, I'll be the 1st to post here an alert!

Dave, as apparently you are the one among us using them for a longer time, if you notice some deterioration of your pieces, please let us know...

Best,

Dolf
