    Riker Mount display question

    I have a question for the long time collectors concerning some Riker mounts I have put together. I have read here on the forum of members advising not to place the collectibles right on the spun foam backing that comes with the case. I have used a small german flag as one background for some buckles. I am unable to display the flag flat so figured this would help preserve it too. The flag is resting on the spun foam. Will I get any reaction from the leather or metal resting on the flag? In the second case I placed a small piece of Belgium velvet (I guess) that is stamped souvenier from Antwerp on the back. It does make some of the items hard to view at a quick glance but I'm into protecting as much as I can at this point. Do either of these make anyone cringe?

      I wouldn't worry about the foam touching anything as it should be non acidic and inert. These Rikers are meant to be specimen mounts for bugs, leaves etc, and designed not to damage what is put in them. To be safe just put a layer of cotton or other natural fabric down as a cover as you have been doing and you should be fine.
