I was there this morning. Sorry I missed you....

It is about a 4 hour drive and I stopped for lunch and did not get there until noon. I expect yo see you at the Ann Arbor CWRT when you are there.

WWII and post WWII seem to be the trend now.

Lots of dealer transactions of Friday and a large crowd on Saturday morning, but unfortunately mostly "tag flippers". I almost didn't go this year as the normal 10 hour drive looked to be more fearful with all of the road construction, but... I was able to buy an Asheville Armory rifle on Saturday. 99% correct {replaced ram rod}. Now there are 10 of them known out of about 385 made, which is a very low survival rate, even for Confederate weapons. I'm very glad I went !!

Would love to see some photos of the Asheville Armory rifle Dave, if you're so inclined.....

 

[Lanyard Puller]

I'll try to get some up soon, but that's on my "do list" for tomorrow as the Atlanta History Center {Gordon Jones} wants some also.
It's a pretty standard Type I, but in better condition than most.

The Mansfield show is always a lot of fun with some really great items and an awesome artillery display. Unfortunately I didn't make it this year.

Were there any Civil War provenance watches for sale in Mansfield?
