New Saber

Thanks to Glen for the translation.
I wrote my previous post in Russian :)

I used at myself here such a rack, which I made myself, although the sheath lies separately in the cabinet.
I already sold some of the sabers shown, because I stopped only on collecting American sabers.

Here is an interesting option for demonstrating swords (taken from the network).

Here's my display of French epees and short sabers created around a board built by a late friend of mine, originally to hold his shasquas:

By the way, welcome to the forums!

I have another question, the leather washer on my quillon has a small tear in it. I'm attaching pics. Since I don't handle the sword much, should do anything with it, or leave it be? I am leaving about a 1/16 of an inch space between the scabbard and washer just to be safe right now.

Just leave it alone - the century-and-a-half old leather has just become dried-out and resultantly brittle and that sliver has broken off; undisturbed, nothing else will likely happen to it.
