Medieval Weapon Display Strategy Guide

Whether you originally bought your medieval sword for fighting, as a stage prop, or as part of a costume, it can be a great display item for you.  Medieval fighting swords are crafted with such beauty that it would be a crime not to have them proudly displayed.  I wrote this page to show you just how to go about displaying your medieval sword.  Read through the next seven paragraphs and you will be fully prepared to proudly put your sword up for show.

Safety should always be your number one concern.  Highly sharpened swords and even heavy unsharpened swords can be hazardous to your health.  Houses with kids should make special arrangements for the display of their medieval fighting sword.

Walls are great places to display swords in houses that do not have eager children ready to tear them down.  Wall mounted display stands can be crafted or purchased depending on your inclination and skills.  When putting up your display, be sure to use your wall studs as anchors or you may have trouble in the future.

Use a sturdy drill and a stud finder to properly mount the sword.  Use a good level and an accurate tape measurer to place your desired wall stand into the wall at the proper height and angle.  Line tools may also be used to form a solid measuring line on your wall.

Cleaning a wall mounted medieval fighting sword should be done with care.  These weapons can be both heavy and sharp and you wouldn’t want to have them come crashing down on you.  Use a duster or a soft broom to knock off any dust that may accumulate.  Additionally you may decide to polish your sword to make it extra shiny.

Display cases may be used instead of a more open wall mount.  These cases can be purchased with locks to keep your children safe and your sword safe.  Consider purchasing one with glass walls on all sides for a nice 360 degree view of your weapon.

Washing a sword that has been enshrined in a glass case is not something that will need to be done often since it will not be exposed to the outside.  However, you will need to clean the glass case to maintain a pristine view of your items.  Use dry rags and cleaners for glass to keep the case nice and bright.
