Display boards
Hi guys, thought I would show some photos of a project I've been working on.
I guess they are educational, I hope they will generate some interest in the subject, and may encourage some new collectors.
I am hoping to take them to some shows and local events that come up from time to time, in my recently purchased military landrover.
I've included on the boards as well as inert examples, some info and pictures of the weapons the rounds are used in. I have not seen anyone else show examples in this manner before. Hope it works. In future hoping to make board explaining types of ammunition, this will just be info and pictures.

Now that is fantastic! I love the way that you have displayed your items there and I am sure that other members would agree. Your display boards look like museum displays. Thanks for showing.

Hello mach1bang,
Your cartridge display boards are spectacular. I'm a firm believer that a photograph of the gun that fires the cartridge adds so much to a collection! Very well done!
Best regards,
Randall

Hi guys, thanks for all your nice comments, it took alot of time and effort to create these boards.
I would like to have used more interesting or rarer examples, but one has to be aware of medaling hands. I have had the odd item stolen from a stall in the past, so cannot take the risk.
Cheers Tim.
