Someone fill me in on this. I've never been. Is it all pre-1900 stuff? Or is there a chance to find early 1900s gear there like some of the early semi rifles and the like?

There are lots of rifles from WWI and WWII era, as well as earlier stuff. Uniforms, swords, cannons, shipboard artillery, 18th century dueling pistols, boarding axes and cutlasses, bayonets, armor, miniature firearms. There's rare stuff that you'd be lucky to see in a museum, as well as affordable much more modern stuff.
The only things you won't see are post-1898 handguns, and items banned for sale in MD.
You should go. You're not likely to see this kind of gun show anywhere else.

Also lots of private sellers and various collectors there. The licensed dealers there tend to be focused on various collectibles rather than being a usual gun store.
Cool, I'm going to do my best to make it then. I've caught a Remington Model 8 bug and I just don't think it'll go away until I have one. Not really a fan of GB or other auctions, so this might be the best way for me to buy.

A never miss venue. Bring a good pair of comfy walking shoes 'cause it'll take hours to make just one pass of this one! Sadly I've given up on MD gun shows with this one being the sole exception. Rarely walk away empty handed!

I think you won't be disappointed. While not sword guy I've noticed that there's always plenty of shiny steel to look at.
all you will need is lots of money. There are usually swords from the dark ages and pretty much every European war since up to WW2. If you pay attention you might notice some folks speaking Japanese looking to buy back family swords...
Basically it is a huge museum with price tags.
For me the cool stuff is all the British Double Rifles many cased with accessories, your choice Purdey, Holland, Wodward, even Rigby if you are willing to go in on a provincial maker from Birmingham (that's a joke by the way - all top shelf and thousands of dollars).

The guy with a table full of Manton dueling pistols always amazes me. Needless to say, they're not for sale.
Needless to say, if they were for sale, I couldn't afford them.
That's why I like this show. You'll never ever see some of these things anywhere else.

I put in my application for a table this year months ago, for a display table.
I absolutely love this show. Something specific for collectors.

I really want to go. I don't have anything specific in mind but it seems like it would be fun to look. Of course ill find something i like but can't afford, or pay way more for something than i should.
