<p>[QUOTE="Kasperscuriosities, post: 150156, member: 404"]So I need a sword stand of some sort and since I really am just learning about swords I would like some advice. I think I would prefer one that stands as oppose to one that hangs do to the difficulty in hanging anything at the gallery. Also I really need a way to keep people from touching some of these swords as I have been told and given special gloves for doing so. I was told that if they were touched with bare hands they would forever bare a fingerprint. So I don't want people to touch them without asking for assistance first. I have a lot of swords and it looks like more are going to come in. Right now I have around 20 all different kinds. Extremely large ones that look like something He-Man might use and some that are true antique war swards, some are Japanese Swords Katanas and Samurais. </p><p><br /></p><p>My question is what would be the best way to display these for sale? Some of them are also very sharp which is another reason I don't want people just picking them up and waving them around. Not that I had any issue with that at the last auction but still. I have seen some cheap stands that can hold around 8 swords are those any good. It looks like it could just fall over. I am on a budget but I figure that this is something that looks like it may come up often so I want to be prepared to display them professionally. I can spend a little bit on it but would like to keep it reasonable. It doesn't have to be fancy just practical. Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
