Terry,
I'm curious about that walnut clock with belt buckle. Is it a custom item or was that a S&W provided item? That is a striking addition to the display. The S&W belt buckles are their own branch of collectible, but with my abundant abdomen it's hard for me to display one effectively!

Can't touch or steal what you can't see. Better than any safe, safes are penetrable, invisibility isn't. jmoI can understand wanting to display your guns and to be able to admire them on display yourself. But a curio provides zero security. Maybe you're in a situation where theft or allowing kids to gain access is not a concern but where I am if I fail to secure my firearms and a juvenile gets one and does something with it I'm legally responsible. All my stuff is in an 800 lb safe and only one person in the world knows how to open it.
Growing up my dad had a glass front gun cabinet he made himself. It sat in our den, unlocked, right where we would sit and watch TV every evening. It was stuffed full. An M12 Winchester, a 1948 Model 70, a couple of double barrel guns, and an M1 carbine bring back. He also kept his fathers government issue WWII Colt M1911 and a 1968 Ruger Standard Pistol. All unsecured. But that was the 60's. As a kid it was understood I was not to touch those guns and I never did unless supervised.
Eventually the cabinet moved to the attic but we were broken in to and the 1911 and the M1 were stolen. The rest of those guns are now in my safe.
My grandfather was an Army doctor and an officer stationed in the Pacific in a location where he was not allowed to wear a sidearm so he sent it home. How I wish I had that Colt!
