The unfortunate thing about this is that one can no longer safely display their collection in an open room, and it needs to be kept in a secure place, out of sight. Unless one is fortunate enough to have a seperate room which can to some extent be "fortified", there remains only a large safe, or a hidden place to display ones collection. I have the latter, and although not large, only 2m wide x 600mm deep, it has doors which also serve as a display area, and will in fact hold quite a reasonable number of items.

kahnjar 1. Very nice collection, and excellent use of a small space. With room for more. I do have one observation... The tension, and pressure on the sling of your awsome Martini Henry, will pinch it two, eventually. I've had similar happen to me.
