How To Store And Display Awards.

[deValcourt]

Thanks for all the compliments about the chest of drawers - the same company just put them on clearance (even cheaper than they were to start so PM me if you want the link) and you can buy just the top part, which is how I started. I think with shipping it's under $90 for the main part with the lid.

I put it next to my computer desk so it is within quick reach for reference which makes it really useful.

Only one thin you need to worry about is humility :thumbsup

You guys are the first ones to see it. It's in a room with all my other Soviet stuff that no one is allowed in or can see just by looking around - and believe me when I tell you I only photographed drawers that were mostly full. There is still plenty of empty drawer space left.

Very nice display and thanks for the tips.

Is there any risk of damage to medals by keeping them in plastic sleeves/envelopes for long periods of time?. I have been reading previous threads regarding plastic medal sleeves and it seems opinions vary as to wheather these are safe or not for long term storage.

Just want to keep the few medals I have so far in the best shape possible.

Thanks again for all your help

Not to stir up another long-winded debate, but I was under the impression that if it is a non-reactive, acid-free plastic designed for long-term storage of paper (which all of the ones I have are) then you were safe for years of storage of anything.
