January 2020 Lakeland Gun Collectors Show
 

Date not announced yet, supposed to be third weekend in January. I am posting now so you can make plans to attend. It is at Sun n' Fun (horrid name I know) in Lakeland.

This is the best show in Florida. No crap about "ooohhhh oooohhhh No private sales". Great selection of cool old stuff along with modern.

I generally estimate that a typical show down here has maybe 20% (tops) of the tables with stuff that interests me. The percentage for the Lakeland Gun Collectors show is probably closer to 60-65% maybe even a bit higher.

I understand that this show will fill two buildings. Dunno 500 tables? More? Last show I got a Police marked Dreyse, a very odd and amazingly underpriced (:)) Luger and a 1914 US Naval Boarding Cutlass (!!).

Do not confuse this with the Florida Gun Shows effort at the same venue.

I have nothing to do with this show, I just like to see good things supported.

I'll update as info comes to me.

Keep us updated - I'll try to make it, just down the road in Bradenton!

Bradenton? Man, you are right around the corner. I know I sound like a shill but after the crap you are dealt at Florida Gun Shows this show was a breath of fresh air. Free parking and they actually had a jitney to bring to to the venue from the far ends of the parking lot.

I'll stop now, I'm getting weepy
:roflmao:

It is the best show for collectable vintage weapons in Florida, but bring a good flashlight, the lighting is terrible.

Jan. 18 and 19.

Approx.500 tables.
