How To Store And Display Awards.

[Sgt Stavka]

I have a small exhibit on Russian military history (1828-2006) that I have to put together for the University of Dallas in about four and a half weeks (it will run until Nov 1). I know how to get the materials to display the weapons and uniforms and even some coins from various periods, BUT how can I display the medals and orders to best effect?

To me this is different than displaying them at home as they will be vertical or slanted rather than in flat glass display boxes.

In some cases there will only be one, in others there will be many (think Patriotic War). Can any of you recommend attractive looking display cases for one medal/order and for many. Also, have any of you done this sort of thing before and what tips would you offer.

Thanks
