Thanks Map!My pics never show a true image,too dark, too light,glare etc, this display looks much better in person,trust me.Yeah the red back ground sets it off pretty good,think I will stay with it.

Light brown is the early SS color for the SA movement ..also a darker green sets off the black dagger quite nicely.
Yet I would stay with either the National Red color or the early movement light colored brown. Just my thoughts

Nice looking display.
I really like the wooden display boxes. I use them for my iron crosses
and I have a large sized one that holds a lot of my knives.

Insurance companies and Market value of certain historical items are a far cry from each other and thats all that Insurance company will insure it for.
Their appraisal is not even close and you would be at a loss.
Hopefully someone reading this thread can chime in as there was a special antiques insurance agent that are usually at these militaria shows and surely would appraise alot higher.
TC dont settle on that 2k figure..shop around a little more.
Regards Larry
