A new cabinet.

Not to grab your thread but I actually had to turn down a free glass front/sides museum display cabinet a week or two ago because I had no place to put it. I may have a bigger problem if I am running out of display cabinet room due to too much stuff to put in it. Oh well.

So, I also have a house full of antique Eastlake style furniture including repurposed display cases. Here are a few.

An Eastlake umbrella stand full of US M1902 Army Officer sword presentation variations. A barrel of German swords. A wall plaque full of mini swords. Etc., etc., etc.

And if you run out of case space just nail 'em to the wall.

Very neat bayonet hanger

Thank you all for your positive comments. The bayonet hanger idea came to me one day as I was looking at a blank wall in my collection rooms. This display consists of four 8' lengths of steel hot round rod available at the hardware store. These heavy stiff rods rest horizontally on three headed nails driven into the studs so bayonets can be added, removed or rearranged. The rod is run through the bayonet frogs and each rod has a theme. Top rod consists of S84/98 variations, next KS98 variations, below that German adapted foreign bayonets, and below that S98/05 variations.
one can display a lot of bayonets in this manner.
