[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 150216, member: 301"]Different swords require different stands.... I'd say for your purpose you might find that a gun rack could be used for display. ( y'll are in Texas ....right ? ) [IMG]http://www.gunstands.com/swdrak1.jpg[/IMG] Japanese swords are most seen in a classic one two or three sword sideways rack... [IMG]http://g01.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1TlVtIFXXXXciXpXXq6xXFXXX8/Padded-Protect-Japanese-Samurai-font-b-Sword-b-font-Katana-Wakizashi-Tanto-font-b-Stand-b.jpg[/IMG] Daemon has a point , in that a rack to go with each sword would be nice for the average buyer but I've found that sword collectors like to have or make a more personalized item.... [IMG]http://www.heroshome.com/picture_library/sword_board.jpg[/IMG] Companies out there do make a wealth of stands .....even a very simple acrylic type just for show.... [IMG]https://www.universityproducts.com/secure/images/categories/category_1927.jpg[/IMG] Something along this line , to keep a bunch on display in the same place... [IMG]http://g02.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1D.x9LpXXXXXiXFXXq6xXFXXXo/8-Layer-Floor-Type-font-b-Vertical-b-font-font-b-Stand-b-font-Samurai-Assembly.jpg[/IMG] You will want to keep them behind a barrier so only a staff member will be able to present them to a buyer one at at a time ....like at a gun store.....and yes for most you don't want folks to touch the blade leaving hand oils on it.....but I've not heard where a fingerprint will quickly etch itself into the steel...forever ! Really large blades should be grouped together....& while I haven't seen yours...they may be fantasy rather than authentic antiques....may be...!
