Finally got round to giving some feedback, sorry for the delay guys.
Well, the weather was actually fine, not cold at all and no rain ! The forests are looking beatiful now that the leaves are starting to change color. Saw a couple of hunters with dogs in the fields, probably out for pheasant or hare.
At the show the "free" parking was packed by the time we got there, admission tot the show
was 15 €
Seemed to me there were a few less visitors, probably due to a combination of the high admission price and "our" ludicrous gunlaws.
As you probably know we are no longer to sell or buy live guns at gunshows
Just about all the tables were still packed though merchandise is shifting. A LOT of WWII German daggers, if I would have had the cash I could have gotten the complete range including the rarer Youth Leader Dagger and the Water Customs models ... Also more Italian stuff, or maybe I'm just paying more attention to that now
Most of the small Russian and Polish vendors were not there. Maybe it's not worthwile for them anymore. You would have been hard pressed to find factory new AK47 mags ...
Now what DID we get ?
Tom got a demilled Carcano carabine in very nice condition for 125. (Must have been the star of the show. If you go for that.) and a couple Carcano clips.
Steve got a machete (he never leaves the show without at least one blade) and a uniformed teddy bear
Mark bought a bottle of blueing liquid.
I got 2 bottles of Foreign legion wine (for the wife), an UZI bayonet at 75 (for Frederik), 2 M16 mags at 7 each (for a guy at the range), the keyefobs for Steve.
Only thing I bought for myself is a French Medaille Militaire dated 1870 (that makes it French-Prussian war period). Not in great condition but a steal at 10. I just couldn't get excited enough about the rest to pay top $
Aniways, It was a nice relaxing trip and the local beer was perfectly chilled
Please feel free to ask details if you want.
