Borchardts go with Steampunk

Yep, Orv is still around. Hopefully your P.38's serial numbers went into his data base. We try and collect this information for him and he has a huge list that he's compiled of them with descriptions and such.

Noth'in wrong with wanting a face-to-face deal in my opinion. Since you caught flak for it, I don't wanna go any further.

Did you ever attend the Dallas Market Hall gunshows? I've attended these since the early '90's. If you have, maybe I have run into you.

I sorta remember the pics of the rarer Lugers that you were posting a while back.

Back on subject; I was asking a few of the people I work with if they had ever heard of "steam punk". Loa and behold, they had! Where the heck have I been?

Next time I have husband dig guns out, I will grab that info for Orv.
He is a great guy.

Nope, we are 3 hours east of Dallas, and I am pretty freaked out by the traffic there. Husband is fearless, and would love to go to Market Hall someday, but our biz is busiest on weekends here, so we have yet to make it in for one.

Would love to meet you someday, if you ever find yourself almost to Shreveport, you will be very close to here.
You are always welcome to come by, just drop me a PM for contact details if you will be heading our way.

Steampunk is pretty amazing, and has managed to combine a lot of my interests into one genre.
I want our town to go with a Steampunk theme for next year's Mardi Gras festival. I think it would be a great draw, and something very new. We are trying to build tourism here, as this is a very historic town, of enough size to really boom. Good news that Dallas knows about Steampunk too, as some Shreveport guests knew of it as well. I am guessing more people in TX are aware of it than we think.

Thank you so much, Ida-Alp!
Greetings to your wife as well!
I will definitely check out that steam plane.
Fritz the Dog says "hi".

Here is a link where the best of the Steampunk bands talks about their origin and the Edison Theater venue.
Pretty cool theater!

Hey Darlin, let me know when you want to part ways with some of your collection. One of my favorite places to visit is Jefferson, I'm also into the War between the states, Jefferson was a mustering out town for the Texacans heading off to the war. There was a textile plant there that made uniforms for the Confederates, a fun place to visit, with a lot of history.
