A friend of mine thought that I needed a nice display case for my artifacts. He decided to build this nice coffee table for my newly constructed private "bunker" down in my basement. I can now enjoy a fine glass of wine while enjoying the view "down below".  My friend is also making the same display case for my friend Stephane.  1.jpg (72.35 KB, 1856 downloads)

Patrice ... Another wonderful addition to your SUPER Collection - which
allows you, and your friends, to enjoy many of your treasures displayed
prominently right before you! (Plus some wine, maybe a cigar, and lots of
great conversation about Maker's Marks, distance of the Logo from the cross
guards and other very important topics to Collectors!)
The classic design of your custom made "Display Coffee Table" takes nothing
away, and it only adds to the warm feeling of your special room!
CONGRATS - you have a Good and Talented Friend! Enjoy!...Dave/dblmed

Your friend did a really nice job, eh. Is it his own design or from blueprint? Wish I could built furniture of that quality. Really nice gift he gave ya.

Thank you gentlemen for your appreciation. That simple coffee table really adds to the "mystic feeling" of my bunker. He used maple wood for the construction and only charged me $ 400 USD for it all, real cheap for such a quality furniture.

Pat:
I think that I have seen the daggers or pictures of all of them over the past year.
Great display piece for your wonderful collection. The display cabinet matches the items that are displayed... amazing.

Robert, I'm not certain what you mean by "protective under the pommel screw" but is this what you were referring to ?

Russ, my "bunker" room is actually pretty small, only 11 X 11 feet. That's all the free space I had available down in my basement. Here a few pics. Still, nice enought to enjoy a glass of wine and a fine cigar and.............no women allowed. 50.jpg (72.49 KB, 1437 downloads)

Pat, that is a great looking room to hide yourself away in with a nice Cuban cigar and a bottle of fine red! Very nicely done, and a fine collection to emerse yourself in.

Is this a SS photo with a skull tab in the wall hollow? Original or repro? I can bet I have the same one.
