Medieval swords created for movies, battles with enemies, and even halloween costumes, can make great display pieces. 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.

 

Walls are great places to display swords in houses that do not have eager children ready to tear them down. You can purchase display stands that mount to the wall, or create your own with wood, metal, or glass materials. Always make sure you drill into the wall studs or risk having your sword come crashing down.

 

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. You could also buy a line tool to create a straight edge across your wall.

 

Cleaning a wall mounted medieval fighting sword should be done with care. These weapons can be both heavy and sharp and you wouldn’t want to have them come crashing down on you. Feather dusters and moist rags should be all you need to keep your sword looking like new. 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. Consider purchasing one with glass walls on all sides for a nice 360 degree view of your weapon.

 

Cleaning encased medieval swords usually is not necessary as they are protected from dust and other elements. 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.

 

Thank you for reading this article on how to display your medieval sword. It is my hope that you will place your sword prominently for all the world to see.
