Default Displaying - mounting

Hi All,

I am nearing my completion of my WW1 infantry of the line cap badges with only a handful more to collect, the rarer and more expensive ones of course.
what I want to do is mount and frame them to display on the wall. ie what type of material to use to mount the badges would be best to use.

Could any other forum members advise me on what they have used or what they prefer if they have done it for them selves or this or seen it done before.

Anybodies views on this would be appreciated,

Best regards Shane

If you were to use the "Search" tab at the top of the page and enter "badge mounting". Loads of stuff comes up. I did one for cloth but many, many people have asked the same question. The "search" is quite good and should help.

Hi Shane
I posted a thread on how I display my badges in the "General Topics" section (this section) under the title "Mounting and displaying badges", which may give you some help (I hope ). There are so many different ideas that if this doesn't help you, I'm sure you'll find another thread with alternate methods.
Good luck.
Cheers,
Alex
