I like things well displayed and I have found that if you even have comon things displayed well they can show off better then higher end stuff placed in a riker mount, etc.

Regards,
Jody

Absolutely agree 110% Jody.
Ive just bought a nice grouping and im going to spend money on it to get it framed! Tell me do you just hand the docs/photos to the framer and he places them or do you tell him the way it should be laid out!

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Ross,
I am lucky one of my dearest friends who is also a collector has a framing business, and he does all of the lay-out work (he also done jobs for several people on this forum). He framed everything shown. Since he is a collector he knows how to handle the stuff and is not upset by seeing swastikas, etc. I would not trust this stuff to a chain like Michaels or the such. Plus I know several famers that will not frame anything from the 3rd Reich era-so you have to be careful.

BTW, thank you guys for the compliments. Several of my autographs will be on the AZ version of the Antiques Roadshow which starts on September 4, 2014.

Hi Jody:
With Victor's permission you might want to post contact information here as we know he does an excellent job of framing this type of material.

Victor is working on a very large KM display for me right now, probably about the size of Jody's nice U-boat display.

I would only trust Victor with my artifacts in regards to framing. He has a complete workshop for framing, so Victor is a professional framer and a collector, which makes the end product something of which you can be very proud.

Yes,as Jim says do you think we could have his contact details Jody!

Kind Regards

PM sent to Jim and Ross about Victor's contact information.

If anyone else is interested, please PM me.

Not trying to hijack my friend Jody's thread, but I wanted to post the result of Victor's work framing my S-boot DKIG group. I have blocked the name of the officer for various reasons.

Also the reverse, showing how Victor attached the items--very tricky to do it right since the DKIG is fairly thick of course.

The final result is much better looking in hand than by these photos. Here are a couple shots of the DKIG metal and cloth award. You can see changes in flash settings affect the look, but the background material is perfect for this display.
