2015 SOS gathering

JTD · 03-03-2015, 01:02 PM

Richard, yes we had that for dinner, plus lots more and their was even an adult beverage or two reported!

From what I have herd, they will be on seperate dates, and no longer the same weekend. This is a bummer, because it is/ was about 2000 tables of quality militaria in one hall, and about the same or more in the gun show. The venue bumped them for a helicopter event that wants the entire expo center. All the big dealers are there. I also met many fine people from both the forums that are not in the diner picture there. John

Since the two shows will be split up next year, which is the better choice for someone primarily interested in firearms???

Depends on the firearms. "National Gun Day"--the gun show--was all across the board: antique, western, sporting long guns, modern and black guns, military, etc. "Show of Shows"--the military show--was military items of all kinds and all eras, firearms were pretty exclusively military.

There were many more Lugers, of all descriptions, scattered around the military show.

sheepherder, I get email notifications of replies to threads in which I made a post. I received one where you quoted my last post. Yet it is not in the lists of posts. I wonder what happens to it. Maybe the gremlins took it?

Yep, I deleted/edited my posts. Upon reflection, I know I won't be going next year- but I'd still like to hear about this years shows/reunion.

Did anyone find that elusive Luger they've always wanted???
