Well, I finally got the backsword to go along with the broadsword and targe, so this morning, I hung them up over the mantle. They're mounted in such a way that they're easily removable. Both swords are CAS Haweii items, and the targe came from Bold Blades (http://www.boldblades.com/html/misce...s_weapons.html).
At any rate, here's how it looks:
While it bothers me a bit that the pattern on the targe isn't lining up either vertically or "on the bias", it appears the way it does because I've attached a double hook to the wall, which cradles the wrist strap of the targe and keeps it on the wall. Too bad the maker didn't "square things up" a bit, but I'll just have to deal with it (which is very difficult for me!).
