Hello Gents, I'm presently away from home, vacationing in beautiful Bavaria and I appreciate all of the positive comments. Bob: you're right and I don't think that I should be smoking my Habana in my bunker. Howard : I would definitively needs some clues.

Patrice: One small note on your table: I had one of these and, over a long period of time, the back of one of my displayed dagger blades became spotted by the cloth underlay. SO, I would check and wipe off the blades on a regular basis Since that experience, no cloth or foam in contact with my blades. Ron Weinand

You have to be careful with wood and Oak in partucular. It emits tannin in small quantities over time and this can be corrosive. Any of the wood pieces I have that house daggers,firearms etc. are sealed on the inside and usually lined. Jim

Thank you Ron and Jim for your advice. I will check them out on a regular basis and will clean my blades with a clean cloth on a regular basis.

Absolutely fantastic Pat. I can't wait to see your collection in person. I like your idea of framing the daggers with nice insignia and putting them on the wall.

Sorry for my late reply Tobau and thank you for the invitation and your appreciation. I will make sure to give you a call when I go back to Bavaria. I'm here having a fine Bavarian beer in beautiful Regensburg, just along the Rhine river.

I spent two years in beautiful Regensburg back in my military days of 1960.
So beautiful, so historical and so much to see but so much wasted time by an immature, young GI.
My friends and myself swam across that river to get a case of bier for our party. That bier is worth the best SA dagger!!!
Pat thanks for sharing.
John

John, I've been to Germany many times and I have to admit that aside from Berlin, Regensburg is my favorite city. I just really love the place and they are presently renovating all of the old town with its vivid colors. I'm certain that you would enjoy seeing the "new" Regensburg, just awesome. When I was young, I also would have done anything for couple of beers, haaaaaa.

One of my favorite places in Germany is the medieval town of Rothenburg. Their museun of ancient torture devices is worth the visit itself. I had a couple of biers with the Night Watchman(pictured below) after his tour of this beautiful village. Jim

Holy Smoke !!! What a bunker you got there Pat. Impressive collection and well displayed and the table is great. Will ask my girlfriend if we could convert our TV room table to a display table like yours but I think I already know the answer Thanks for sharing mate ! Hakan

Thanks for the compliment my friend. My wife was actually pretty happy that I was able to hide my collection in the basement. Unfortunately, it is now too small and I will have to enlarge my bunker to make room for my collection. And I thought that it was big enought just a year ago.

Bernie was also very cool to let me try his super hot car, a 1969 GTX. Almost as good as a Toyota.

Er Patrice my friend: Putting the pedal to the metal at that point would probably NOT be a real good idea!! On the other hand I hope you lifted a couple with two of the nicest guys in the hobby. Jim

It's always a treat to visit Patrice and his lovely wife Lyne. That day, Stephane also joined us and we enjoyed Patrice's down home hospitality. But if the truth be told, I only went to see his collection. Having had the privilege of seeing Pat's collection in person, I must in all honesty say that it is even more impressive in person. It is a world class collection by a world class guy. Oh, BTW, Pat is the only guy to drive my GTX other than me.

How did you secure those daggers and scabbards in those shadow boxes? Can you please post a close up picture?
Thanks,
