How To Display Your Medieval Sword
Whether you originally bought your medieval sword for fighting, as a stage prop, or as part of a costume, it can be a great display item for you. Medieval fighting swords are crafted with such beauty that it would be a crime not to have them proudly displayed. I wrote this page to show you just how to go about displaying your medieval sword. Read through the next seven paragraphs and you will be fully prepared to proudly put your sword up for show.
The first issue we need to cover is safety. Highly sharpened swords and even heavy unsharpened swords can be hazardous to your health. Homes with children need to take special precautions to secure and display the sword with care.
Wall displays can be great, but be careful not to place them in homes where pets or children may rip them down and become hurt by them. Wall mounted display stands can be crafted or purchased depending on your inclination and skills. When putting up your display, be sure to use your wall studs as anchors or you may have trouble in the future.
Use a sturdy drill and a stud finder to properly mount the sword. Use a good level and an accurate tape measurer to place your desired wall stand into the wall at the proper height and angle. Line tools may also be used to form a solid measuring line on your wall.
Washing the medieval sword you have mounted on your wall needs to be done with caution. Remember that the edges may be sharp and you do not want to knock a sharpened sword down on your head. Use a duster or a soft broom to knock off any dust that may accumulate. Additionally you may decide to polish your sword to make it extra shiny.
Display cases may be used instead of a more open wall mount. These cases can be purchased with locks to keep your children safe and your sword safe. Cases can be made with large glass tops and fronts so that you will always have a great view of your sword.
Washing a sword that has been enshrined in a glass case is not something that will need to be done often since it will not be exposed to the outside. Although you will not need to clean the sword, you may have to wash the glass on the case to keep your viewing area clear. Use dry rags and cleaners for glass to keep the case nice and bright.

Why You Should Buy A Medieval Sword
There are many reasons why somebody might want to buy medieval weaponry. Further on you'll read through many that you may or may not have thought of already. After your done reading you'll have plenty of ideas to think about.Medieval fighting swords make fantastic additions to musicals and class plays. This type of weapon will make any sort of medieval costume look more genuine. You can also use it to slay villians and misbehaved animals in your fictional story.
Fighting swords also make for great displays. Mounting these weapons over fire places and mantels will really liven up your living space. Display these swords next to full armor sets or inside of protective cases.
Why not give a medieval fighting sword away to a friend or relative? My nephew likes all things from the movie 300 and loves movie props. I bought him a replica sword for Christmas and he was grinning from ear to ear for weeks. His room now hosts the weapon in a fabulous looking case. Keep in mind that these weapons can be dangerous when sharpened, so use strong judgment when giving these replicas to children.
Another reason you may want to purchase this type of weapon is to give away at the end of a fighting contest or even a theatrical contest. My brother enjoyes Tang Soo Do karate and will often participate in fighting contests. The last tournament he won earned him a ninja sword, complete with a fancy scabbard to put it in. He now has it proudly displayed in his living room and points it out to me every time I visit him.
Medieval fighting swords can also be used as family heirlooms. Why not buy a medieval sword with a family crest crafted on the blade or even the weapon's hilt? Following this you can mount the sword onto a shield to finish the piece. You'll pass this item on when you see fit and so will your family members. Purchase something of quality and character and you won't be sorry you did.
Medieval weapons will become useful investments to the right purchaser. Replica swords tend to go up in value with each passing year. Why wouldn't you want to buy something and then sell it for ten times what you paid for it?
