For the UK context this information on standards needs to be included, there are also EU standards that should be included: https://collectionstrust.org.uk/resource/security-specification-attack-resistant-display-cases/ Rose Daly (talk) 20:24, 25 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Proposed merge of Shadow box into Display case

edit

A shadow box does not seem sufficiently distinct from a display case to justify a separate article. Even the companies that sell shadow boxes list them as "shadow box or display case". Recommend a merger. Apocheir (talk) 21:34, 11 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Unsourced "superstition"

edit

The "Use in the United States Military" section was imported from Shadow box and cites only a store page from 2013. I've been unable to find a source from before 2013 that references it or the superstition about shadows as a seafaring tradition and the sources I have found from the turn of the 20th century only describe ordinary display cases. I'm beginning to see the "legend" spread from this article, including to a book about a modern military career written in 2018 that prefaces it with "as I understand it". With citogenesis imminent, I'm removing the last two paragraphs until someone can locate a better source. Unsurprisingly (talk) 15:47, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
