GUN SHOW REPORT

Well the gunshow here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa was pretty much as usual. There were very few Lugers or other WW2 guns for sale. I did pick up an interesting PHOTO ALBUM and 8X11 picture (same guy)of a German soldier in World War Two. It has about 70 pictures of the soldier, with subjects ranging from family pictures, vacation pictures, and shots of he and his fellow soldiers at war. I like this stuff, because it shows that most of the soldiers were just normal people, like us, fighting for their country and the fact that they were not all NAZI Concentration Camp Guards. Brings a great humaness to the terrible confrontation. Oh, I allmost forgot, I guy came in with a MINT UNFIRED BYF 41 LUGER ALL MATCHING, with TWO CLIPS, MINT Holster. It wasn't for sale though. By the end of the show, he had showed it to so many people that you could see obvious handling marks that weren't there when he brought it in. (I saw it when he walked in and when he left the show) He bought it for $1000.00 (full rig, plus two mint K98 bayonets)from the son of a World War Two Vet. Why can't I ever find these deals!


Till next time!
