From the standpoint of collecting Lugers the show was a disappointment, only about 20 Lugers there, Ralph Shattuck having about 12 of them. All out of my price range except a nice 1918 DWM for $795 and the guy said he had room to deal, but I already have one. John S and Joshua, sorry to say the guy with the WWII 9mm ammo was not here, or at least if he was I couldn't find him. We still had fun though, had lunch with Lloyd and a friend of his from KA then to Laughlin and the next day to Oatman AZ where wild burrows roam around in the main street. The wife picked up a really nice tourquois and silver necklace from an Indian aritsan named Yellowhammer, he makes them in his shop there. I highly recommend visiting this little gold town if you are in the area, I have never seen anything like it. Some reenactors held a wild west robbery of Wells Fargo and had a shootout in the street, not even flinching the wild burrows that were bumming treats from the tourists. Lots of really old firearms, some looking as if they went back to Genghis Kahn, but not the ususal junky kind of show, very little ammo and surplus stuff, mainly just a show for serious collectors, saw a few shotguns going for a measly $58,000 bucks. If your interests are mainly Lugers this is not a show that I would recommend.
