NYHFA Poughkeepsie's new sword rack

Hmmm.... Would it be taken the wrong way if I tell you "nice rack"? :P
Looks good though, those things are amazing when it comes to storing weapons. I have one in my flat which has about twenty different weapons living in it, and I'm thinking I'm going to need another one in the near future...
