Gun display case, need pictures

I picked up an old gun case and "refurbed" it. Now it's a display case. I made new slots for the buts so they would be at a 45 degree angle thus allowing more of the gun to be seen. From left, 1942 Izhevsk 91/30, 1944 Izhevsk M44, 1954.5 type 53, 1976 m58/66 Yugo, top pistol 1953 Romanian TTC, and an 1944 Tula 1895 Nagant. Here is where the need for pictures comes in. I am putting together a little information sheet on each weapon and really want to include real life combat pictures. I have found some but nothing I really like. If you have any pics of these weapons in action in their former military life I would appreciate it!! Oh, the TTC will probably be an exception. Thanks!

Nice job on the case, check the historic photos forum here on the board for old Mosin pics.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

That is a nice display. What are you gonna do when the hoard is reaching 50+ rifles or so? That is coming BTW.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You might rethink the big D. That will result in your not needing that extra space for rifles. I am the voice of experience here. I didn't lose the rifles, but suddenly I had lots of space for them. Not the best trade-off frankly.
