    15. Hi Megan, Thanks for the compliment, it means a lot to me. I started collecting, while in Angola, during the Bush War, but not as serious at first. I also collect a lot of information and history. Most collectors in SA contact me to ID their stuff and for prices when the wanted to sell. I will cover some very rare SA medals soon. Just want to finish the Homelands awards Regards Archie Megan, I use the drawers of those two cabinets to display my different militaria. Will get 1 more, then I might have enough space with the 5 empty drawers and 4 new display boards Attached is some of my displays in the drawers. The size is 140 cm x 80 cm
    16. Your man-cave looks fantastic! I collect information and images rather than things, but it all occupues quite a lot of storage. This dates back to a childhood fascination with medals and 1) having picked up one medal which neither the vendor nor the local museum could identify, the quest to find out what it was led to 2) the discovery that a book with information/images of lots of medals cost less than a single actual medal! Anyway I'd bought most all that I could find that I could afford on pocket money anyway. In later years this new-fangled World Wide Web thing came along. Already in the computing trade by then, I found HTML (the basic code that websites are written with) is a very space-efficient way of storing images and information at a time when hard drives cost an arm and a leg! So Medals of the World was born...
