How do you display your paper collection

[Craig Larter]

I try to acquire a catalog from the year of each of my gun's date of manufacturer. I built a wooden case with a tempered glass top for my gun room to show my paper collection. How do you display your paper collection? Craig

[Jeff Kuss]

Mine are in PGCA binders at the moment.

[Mills Morrison]

I plan to put mine in a binder. I really don't have too many at the moment. I have all of my research letters in a binder and that really adds enjoyment

[Randy Davis]

Some on shelves, framed on walls, and in display cases...

[Craig Larter]

Really nice! Do you make your own frames?? Cut your own matting?

[Randy Davis]

Thanks!...did a few in the beginning with the black aluminum frame kits. Now... usually go to local hobby lobby...

Very nice displays. I do not have a gun room (I live in Massachusetts)so I have several 3 inch binders that are organized by type - small catalog - large catalog - letters - envelopes and postcards etc. The large leather bound catalogs - both the '37 Parker/Remington catalog and the 1895 copy by Larry Baer are on display in my home office. Having the 150+ pieces in binders makes for pleasant times in a big comfortable chair.

What, in Massachusetts law, prevents one from having a gun room?

[Dean Romig]

They can’t be on display unless in a locked case or have a trigger lock on them.

What, in Massachusetts law, prevents one from having a gun room?

Every firearm must be either locked up or have a lock on the individual firearm - takes away from the attractiveness of looking at our Parkers. License to carry does allow the firearm under one's control to not have a lock. Even going to a shooting range with the firearm in the trunk requires it to be in a locked case.

I survived growing up with dad's guns and ammo in the back of his closet

[Dave Noreen]

Most of mine sits in binders on the shelf.

However, I did decorate the hallway leading to the man cave and gun room with Ithaca's Lefever Arms, Western Arms and an Ithaca Trap Guns posters.

Back to the Mass. law thing. Ordered filler wads from BPI yesterday for the 10 ga. and was put on hold while he checked with his boss to see if it was ok to ship to Mass. because of the threats from our AG having to do with regulations her office has created out of thin air to intimidate out of state sellers.

[Dean Romig]

Mike Yacino Sr., father of the Mike Yacino who posts here and has his own gun shop, was for several years executive director of GOAL (Gun Owners Action League) here in Mass.
when the law was passed in Mass about locking guns up and trigger locks Mike went directly to the State House and demanded to the governor that the muskets displayed high on the wall in the governor’s office be immediately equipped with trigger locks. The governor realized at that point how ridiculous the law was... but it was too late - it was the law and the muskets were not exempt.

Mike was a fireball and a great friend of firearms owners.

[Bill Murphy]

So, are the governor's muskets trigger locked?? By the way, thanks to Dave for posting pictures of five percent of his paper collection, or is it five tenths of a percent of his paper collection?

[Dean Romig]

So, are the governor's muskets trigger locked?


To the best of my knowledge, yes.

Dave, I'll bet we could all spend some quality time perusing your binders and walking your halls.:bowdown:

It's funny (head scratch funny, not ha-ha funny) that the news of the Mass. trigger locks on the muskets in the State House made the news in Missouri. I guess ya gotta be famous for something.:banghead:

[Russell E. Cleary]

I have removed my post as it was indeed too political (and a preposterous digression from the Thread topic as well).

Please proceed with illustrating and describing how we display our classic gun ephemera.

[Garry L Gordon]

I'm just curious...are video games that include shooting and killing likenesses of humans banned in MA? Let me guess...no? How about violent movies -- are they also banned?

There are times it's frustrating living in the Show-Me State, but after learning about your state, I'm feeling better.

[Dean Romig]

We live under the knee-jerk and “feel good” laws passed by the career politicians who only want to keep their jobs and buy votes by enacting such ridiculous laws.


But I really think we should steer clear of political discussions on this thread. Just MHO.

My kids have cracked my safe before. They have not cracked knowing their hides will get tanned if they mess with my guns though. The second method worked for generations for a reason

This doesn't fit in the notebook.

[Randy Davis]

Most are layed out for viewing... Placed in clear PVC sleeves...

[Randy Davis]

I was very happy when Staples got those legal-size notebooks to house my large Ithaca Flues and NID era catalogs.
