How to present a collector's weapon


Discover custom bases and plexiglass displays for a collector's weapon.

 

Custom black steel base for a collector's weapon.

When you ask collectors of antique firearms about the genesis of their passion, most will tell you they caught the bug by watching Western movies or finding a weapon in their grandfather's attic. This passion, therefore, dates back to childhood and lasts a lifetime. Firearm enthusiasts quickly become true collectors, making it urgent to give these historical and sentimental objects a worthy presentation.
From blunderbusses to muskets, rifles, carbines, pistols, revolvers, and other handguns, Militaria enthusiasts seek displays adapted to the specific nature of these objects.

This is why, for several years, we have developed displays and stands specially designed for antique and contemporary firearms.

Your collector's weapons displayed with plexiglass creations


Here is the first model of standard transparent acrylic display for medium and long barrel weapons.
This V-shaped display will perfectly suit your needs if you own this type of weapon.
Very easy to use, you just need to place one end of the weapon in the hollow of the V and the other on another support of the same type. This system can accommodate all types of percussion weapons, and medium to large barrel weapons.

Used alone, this V-shaped plexiglass display for weapons also allows for an oblique presentation with 4 inclination possibilities.

Presented with two V-shaped supports of different sizes, or not, the weapon can be displayed at height.
If the two V-shaped supports are of the same height, the weapon is presented horizontally.

If the two V-shaped supports are of different sizes, the weapon is presented with
the inclination of your choice, depending on the height of the chosen models.
I'm opting for this plexiglass display
Now discover the second model of standard plexiglass displays with the AMO range.
Discreet and simple to use, this single-piece display ensures rifles and shotguns are held horizontally. Its single-piece structure allows for the secure display of long and heavy weapons. Here, it's a revolver, but the larger models of these transparent displays are perfectly suitable for rifles.



Here is our adjustable transparent plexiglass stand from the SP Range.
This display easily adapts to the dimensions of your weapon thanks to its adjustable arms.
Note: this model is not available for online sale.

We will guide you throughout the development of your custom base.
You choose the material, for example, steel supports or brass bases.

Notice how the stock is perfectly held, the uprights adjusted
