How do you display your reenactment medallions?

[rebed19th]

I have been reenacting since April 2017. Most events do not give out any medals so I am sure that you know hard hard it is to make a collection for display. I try pick up little keepsakes of an event shotglass first day cover, etc. if no medals are given. but the do not go into this case. This is my display and have it hanging on the wall. How do you show yours.

I usually throw them out

WOW!!....You get medalions??.....COOL!!.......MAYBE, at some events, we may get a ribbon, but that is very rare.....I have a few medalions from the 150ths that I have been to, but that is about it.
How many events to you go to in a year?.....We go to about 10 or so......

I have two 150th things (Gettysburg--wood disk--and Cedar Creek--medallion with a miniature of a mural painting of Vermont troops), but I have no idea where they are.

i went to the 135th Gettysburg, and Antietam, 140th, 150th manassas, 150th gettysburg Antietam, Spotsvlvania, Chancellorsville, 13 from from cedar creek, 3 from Stonewalls valley campaigns, In a good season I may get 2, 1 Neshaminy state park Pa, so like I said it took a long time to get these because the small events dont give the out. Cedar Creek always does.

I've never seen anything like these before! Kinda cool, I have to say....I just collected bruises, scrapes, burns, etc. from my events.
