MUSEUM-STYLE PRESENTATION

Each historical artifact is individually presented to preserve its original character while creating a finished display suitable for a home, office, or collection. The presentation is designed around the artifact itself, allowing its shape, markings, wear, and history to remain the focal point.

INDIVIDUALLY DESIGNED

Craig Tinder personally designs each display around the specific artifact. Bases, custom supports, engraved identification plates, and other presentation elements may vary according to the size, weight, shape, and character of the original component.

ONE-OF-A-KIND

Because these displays incorporate genuine historical artifacts, no two are identical. Original markings, patina, wear, surface texture, and other evidence of the artifact's service history are preserved whenever practical. These natural differences are part of what makes each piece unique.

SHIPPING

Each artifact display is individually completed and inspected by Aces In Action before shipment. Because these pieces can vary significantly in size, weight, and construction, each display is carefully packaged according to the requirements of the individual artifact.

Please allow additional time for this hands-on preparation before shipment. Any product-specific shipping information will be noted in the product description.

Gift wrapping is available for Authentic Historical Artifacts. Gift presentation may vary based on the size and shape of the individual piece.

DISPLAY & CARE

Historical artifacts may retain original finishes, markings, oxidation, patina, wear, and other characteristics acquired during their service life. These are part of the artifact's history and should not be polished, refinished, or removed unless specifically recommended.

Keep the display in a stable indoor environment away from excessive moisture, prolonged direct sunlight, and extreme temperature changes. Dust gently with a clean, soft, dry cloth. Avoid household cleaners, solvents, polishes, or abrasive materials on the artifact, identification plate, base, or other display components.

HANDLING

Handle the finished display by its base or structural support whenever possible rather than by the historical artifact itself. Some original components may have sharp edges, fragile finishes, or other characteristics associated with aged military and industrial materials.

ARTIFACT NOTICE

These items are sold solely as historical collectibles and display pieces. Where applicable, aircraft and military components have been permanently removed from service, rendered inert, and/or red-tagged. They are not represented as airworthy or serviceable components and are not intended for installation, restoration, operational use, or return to service.

Certain military or aircraft artifacts may be subject to U.S. export restrictions or carrier limitations and therefore cannot be shipped outside the United States. International availability is determined on an item-by-item basis. If an artifact cannot legally or safely be shipped to your destination, Aces In Action reserves the right to restrict or cancel the order.

Because these are genuine historical components, artifacts may retain original finishes, coatings, residue, oxidation, sharp edges, or other characteristics associated with their prior use and age. They are intended for adult collection and display only and should be kept away from children.
