robert60446 Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share #6 Posted May 18, 2008 Thanks Gary! Here is better obverse picture. It is hard to capture nicely gold on those wings without screwing white balance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cooper Posted May 18, 2008 Share #9 Posted May 18, 2008 Good Morning Robert! Another nice addition! Maybe if you have the time a nice group shot of your Navy wings would be cool. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hi John, I will try to do this when i will receive new display cases (recommended by you - thanks). I will be moving stuff anyway at that time… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cooper Posted May 20, 2008 Share #11 Posted May 20, 2008 Robert, So which size did you buy? I like the 18x24 size which I will have to take some photos of if I can figure out how to do it without seeing any reflections... John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert60446 Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share #12 Posted May 20, 2008 John, I talked to them over the phone yesterday (funny thing I swear I could hear noises from the shop in background) and they are going to mail me catalog today. They don’t have any literature in electronic format, so the only way to see their products is good old fashion catalog. Very nice people by the way… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cooper Posted May 20, 2008 Share #13 Posted May 20, 2008 Robert, Glad you made contact! Here are some pix for others to look at if they are in need of good quality cases at low pices.

robert60446 Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share #14 Posted May 20, 2008 John, how you are mounting wings in those case? Is there enough room to move needle underneath of material? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cooper Posted May 21, 2008 Share #15 Posted May 21, 2008 Robert - no need to pin them in they are held in place by the glass. There is some high density foam under the backing material so when you close the glass they are nice and secure. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This leaves you a free hand on positioning them and etc. Thanks for this info John. I'm guessing with catalog there are nice background foam color choices? Ps. when I will get their catalog I will try to scan it and make it readable as a PDF file… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDK Posted May 30, 2008 Share #21 Posted May 30, 2008 John, Thanks for the info as well. I have a few A-2 jacket groupings. I like to display a few pictures, their wings, ID Cards, medals, or whatever else I have that happens to be in the grouping. Some are too large to display it all, but I still like to have some items cased to show with the jacket! Thanks again, J.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
