I tried to find this topic with the search feature but could not find what I really want.
What is the best way to display a sword? I have seen the stands and little hangers, is there a benefit to one over the other? Also does anyone have any good ideas on how to make a wall hanger or stand? It seems like if it was in a stand that standing on it's tip would have an adverse affect, like warping. I welcome all ideas.

And also I would like to ask how did Medieval sword owners store their swords when they were not being worn or used? Did they just toss them in a chest until needed or did they display them also?

I use the little "invisible" sword hangers that scissor together. You can get them on ebay for $3 or buy them from MRL for $12 I posted pics of them on here before.
