Philly gunshow report

Edward Tinker · 06-02-2007, 12:37 PM

Went to the Philly Gun show today, was a smaller one, but decent.

Saw three lugers;

1918 DWM artillery, reblued, with repro stock for $1595

G date, barrel has been replaced, $1600

and a reblue commericial, I did not ask the price as they were busy.

I did meet a nice guy who had about 10 -12 luger holsters and 6 or 8 P38 holsters. Not cheap, but reasonable. My extra spending money only allowed me to pick up one that interested me.

There was also a dagger collector, Richard something (I have his card), was nice and had many assorted german daggers / bayonets.

Ed,

Thanks for the report, it is always interesting to see what is going on and what is available at other gun shows! Lets face it a day at any gun show is better than the best Saturday without one. And it sounds like you scored a nice holster.

Ed, what are you doing in Philly PA? I thought you lived in Denver?

Best Regards,

Lloyd, yes I enjoy the reports from others, so....

I am on a contract job for the next 3-4 months. I'd rather be home with the ole spouseroonie but we take the jobs as they come

You don't want to miss the Valley Forge Gun Show if you are in the Philly area. The show is june 15 through 17.

If you don't mind driving to South Jersey you are welcome to shoot my luger (and other guns). We cant have you suffering from luger withdraw.
