KC Gun Show & NAPCA Report...?

Hi,
The Kansas City show was very good again with lots of Lugers. There was some extremely hard to find variations such as a Persian cutaway, an original cased 02 carbine, and a 98% original 02 fat barrel. There were also 3 Mauser carbines and 2 six shot broomhandles. Lots of Mauser military Lugers examples with one matching magazine as well as some navy and Imperial stuff. Two more wooden drum magazine boxes showed up. I was able to purchase two complete rigs in 98-99% condition with two matching magazines. One was a 1938 S/42 and the other a 1939 Banner E/L. Saw a nice complete sneak in the T block with two matching magazines also. Sunday just before closing a walk-in came to our table and my friend bought a 1939 S/42 in 98% original condition with a matching magazine. There were also some wonderful displays just to mention a few -- Browning Highpowers, Norwegian 45's, M1 Grands, and WW1 Machine guns. I would recommend that you attend if you could.
