Title: Newbie with a storage question
Post by: axlmayhem on June 10, 2009, 12:14:40 AM

Hi all. First of all, thanks for the forum. My question: I have obtained a Nazi armband my wife's grandfather brought home from the war and I want to store it properly. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Well, like with most everything old, you want to keep it out of direct sunlight, in a low moisture controlled environment and (especially with fabrics) insect free.  If you choose to display the item, usually a frame with UV resistant glass and a non-acid backing will do OUT of direct sunlight.
