Displaying an Old Sefer Torah

By Yehoshua -
It was discussed in previous post the thing that one may find in some shuls where they have on display an old Sefer Torah from the Holocaust in a glass case.
Today b'hashgacha pratis R' Shammai Gross told me the Beis Avi has a teshuva about displaying a Sefer Torah in a glass case inside of a Judaica Store. L'maseh his machmir and has an interesting discussion there in the teshuva (link to the teshuva). R' Shammai said to me to look in the teshuva and see that his re'as are not re'as b'clal and l'maseh it's in fact muter to put an old pasul Sefer Torah on display in a glass case if one wishes. He said it's not a bizion...

Not sure if I agree yet completely but I thought it would be good to post this now since the post was recently made. Could be someone commented then with the Teshuva from Beis Avi -- I didn't look before writing this.

Would you please be kind enough to teach us (so I can include it in the article) which Poskim and what exactly and where did they say that the עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן  that does not fail? We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that  דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן.  Nor are we interested in those who said to use  עפצים וקנקנתום וגומא ואין לשנות when they discussed specifically the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink. We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the  עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is  דיו עשן  of good quality that does not ...
