Hey all, So as you know I am a big fan of the DisplayGifts and sfDisplay cases for sword display: Buuuut. What I have never really liked is the longsword vertical cases that come with those really tacky guitar hanger-type U-hangers covered in rubber. Blegh. I have been constantly looking for better ways to deal with that. Then I recently had the not-so-epiphany-but-more-like-duh moment of brilliance! What if I took some of the hangers intended for placing directly on the wall and mounted them inside the cases? Taking 2-56 1/2” bolts and nuts and mounting them to the backing board directly has yielded some beautiful results! Am now in the process of acquiring a bunch of these in various styles and retrofitting cases! Just thought I would share.

Very stylish yet safe from touching.

I don't know, it just makes me want to touch them more.

Very elegant. Also benefits as ou will drastically limit the space you have for display, meaning fewer swords in the collection; or the purchase of a castle.

Yup, THAT's definitely a very hard one to let go of.

Thought I would post a short update on this as I have the semblance of a layout I like and I have retrofitted my cases with hangers now and it is looking good! First the hangers as I mentioned: And, the layout design I am now expanding my sword wall to (don't mind the boxes, Christmas packages abound haha!) Will post updates as I get cases hung!

May be too busy of a look but since you are going up, a rolling library ladder with antiquated fittings, brackets and railing would match the look of your cases and look mega cool.

Hope that's a strong wall if you're going to mount that many swords in cases on it. If some night you're awaken by a loud crashing sound you'll know.
