Did anyone attend? How was it? What were the crowds like? Was there much buying and selling?

It seemed to be well attended on Saturday when I was there for about four hours. I wasn't impressed though. I have seen a lot finer guns for sale in previous years at this show at the other location. This facility was better but, overall, the show was still a bit disappointing.

I was there Sat & Sun. I saw some nice guns - some nice Brit stuff like a pair of Dickson bar-in-wood hammerguns, some very nice Lefevers, a couple nice Parkers and Foxes, some cool double rifles (H&H Royal .577 & a minty Springer sidelock 9.3. X 74R) plus some other stuff.

I also saw 2 Guyots - a sidelock and a boxlock - and a gorgeous, sidelever, sidelock Marcel Donckier with crazy nice engraving on it.

Overall, there seem to be fewer nice Brit guns, a lot more bolt rifles (expensive Hoffmans, etc), and more antique stuff - old pistols, flints, Sharps, etc.

I also hung out with a few guys from the Fox and Lefever boards. Lots of fun.

Overall, prices seemed super high. I didn't see any bargains.
