I plan on being there and a friend will have a table, so I'll be putting up for sale a Purdey, Rizzini, DMB and possibly a Damascus barreled Dickson. Don't need to mention this site, I'll send some $ to Dave regardless.

Nitrah, guess I'll give it a try. That's a better selection than the Vintage Cup at Hopkins a few years ago.

Drive up Saturday and all you'll see is tailfeathers and taillights. The show runs from Thursday to Saturday, no Sunday events scheduled. Most promoters allow some early departures and some vendors start tearing down midday of the last day.

I see Shenk shotshell company is displaying there. Am I the only one who feels it amusing that they are going to display/set up for showing and obviously to solicit business when folks on this chat site have been waiting several months for their orders and some complaints about not returning emails

Hopefully I might go next year. Having never been to a Vintage Gunners Cup is there an expected attire while shooting and anything else one should know to avoid looking foolish or breaking expectations?

What are the Wildcat and Long Bird side events?

I have become addicted to English hammered shotguns to the detriment of my wallet.

I haven't been in years but expect to see some people dressed very Edwardian and others in casual shooting attire. I remember people in shorts, breeks, kilts and African safari attire. No judgement, it was all personal choice. A wide range of guns as well from Sterlingworths, BSS, LC to Purdey and H&H.
