Joe,
The 'SIMPLEST display device is a couple of pegs, driven into a board, a
wood wall, or some 'head level' trim around the room. Depending on the
pistol; one a few inches back from the muzzle, another in the trigger guard
{behind the trigger - for stability}, and the last in the curve of the grip.
This is also probably the 'most authentic' as regards the way the 'average
homeowner' would have had is pistol 'available'.{For added 'security' a 4th
can be placed on the OUTSIDE CURVE of the grip.}
A 'modern' display would be a glass-fronted 'Shadow Box'. From basic simple
frame {of depth required for the particular pistol} and some appropriately
colored background & plastic ties, to very elaborate 'diorama's '.
Then we get into 'French Fitted' Presentation Cases . . .
Regards & Good Luck,
