Three of us drove down from north of Philadelphia. We spent about 6 hours walking around looking at nice guns. It was well worth the almost 3 hour drive in each direction.

We saw quite a number of things worth buying, if you're in a spending mood, including a couple of Dicksons and a MacNaughton. A&S Famars is there, as is Holland & Holland. There was a Famars matched pair of hammer guns in .22 caliber - one with rifled barrels and scoped, the other smooth bored (with two sets of barrels) for .22 shot cartridges and .22 long rifle shotshells. Not on the A&S table, but on another. A magnificent Fugger engraved Griffin & Howe small frame Martini .22 in a G&H case. Lots of Parkers, L.C. Smiths, Ithacas and Foxes. Quite a few nice hammer guns. The new Purdey hammer gun at G&H. Ceasar Guerini is there with most of the line including they new single barrel trap gun. Cabela's has some nice stuff on its tables. And, I've barely scratched the surface of what's offered.

One suggestion - pack your own lunch. The only offering today was a $10 combo - either an overcooked chicken breast or a fairly measly portion of sliced roast beef on a hamburger roll, plus water or soda and a bag of chips or pretzels. Didn't hold a candle to the Sandaronna menu in prior years. Not a fruit or a vegetable to be seen. Water and soft drinks are $2/bottle or can, so putting a cooler in the car isn't a bad idea.
