Antique Arms Show, Timonium, MD 15 - 16 March 08

[Polecat]

Anyone planning on attending? I am planning for Sunday since I have a 3-gun match at Sanners on Saturday. Might hook up and Grip & Grin a while. I go early while the viewing is good and depart around noonish.
Edited to correct date-duh

Its great for anything ww2 and earlier... But i get the snobbish feeling when i go there. I think Harrisburg is that same weekend(mags, ammo)

If i was looking for a krag or trapdoor, thats the place to go!

have you been to the Harrisburg one before? i was thinking about go myself, i was thinking PA maybe better then most of the MD ones have been going to lately.

PA shows will ruin you for MD shows.

I may try and stop by Sunday with my Buddie at some time.

I'd go, but I have a shoot (N-SSA Early Bird Skirmish) that weekend. It's about the only Maryland gun show that is really worth going to....one with something more than table after table of ARs, Glocks, and 1911 clones. And beef jerky.

Well after years of putting it off I attended today. I guess it's what I expected but a little disappointing too. I am not a collector so maybe I should have gone to Harrisburg instead. Anyway, I am really glad I checked it out. TONS of old firearms and edged weapons! NO jewelry, no stuffed animals and no jerkey! I loved the displays at the entrance and kicked myself in the arsh at the prices today when I had similar items 30+ years ago at give away prices. Who da thunk? It's a collector "nitch" that is good, but not my "cup of tea" so to speak. Wish I could have brought home a Gattlin (sic?) gun or a Thompson, or even one of those $57,000 priced Henrys!!!
