    Hi,

    I would like to share a picture with you guys. Here is one Ricker Mount display case for my Imperial Russian items (two medals, ribbon bar and portrait).

    I used cardboard from art shop and velt. I have to do lables again, because my son split some water some of them (I must forgive him this time - he is just 1,5 years oldshame.gif ).

    How you guys display your items?cheers.gif

    Hi Noor,

    Way back I started a thread on this in the Conservation and Preservation forum

    http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=12023

    Take a look - I should post some of my pics there too.

    Thank you guys!

    I left some space there for extra award as well but still - I think they look pretty nice made like this but you can't keep many items in one case.

    Also, maybe some imperial expert can have a look at the label and advise, did I got the ribbons "puzzle" almost right - as far I know, there isn't a chance to ID them 100%. Whats bothers me is this Turkish war ribbon - can it indicate something else from around WW1 period?

    Noor;

    It looks GREAT! I like it a lot.

    Important note to everyone, (if you will forgive me for saying/pointing this out)....you mentioned using cardboard from the art shop. Be sure to use only paper and paper products from art stores because they are usually acid-free. Anything that comes in contact with the medals, ribbons, photos needs to be acid-free.

    My riker mounts usually don't have this cardboard matting. But I can see that when you do it, it makes it museum-display quality. It really brings it up a notch.
