Gosh, I guess it's "different strokes for different folks". I thought there were a number of interesting guns at the show. Saw a very high condition Horsley on the lower level that anyone would have been proud to own. And then the little W&C Scott Monte Carlo B that could easily be a favorite bird gun. And on and on. I bought a very high condition W.W. Greener 'Self-acting Striker' hammer gun that is as close to mint original as we'll ever find in this lifetime--and it was made in the late 1860's. Jones underlever and nonretracting hammers. Picture to come before long.
I agree the crowd was the smallest I've ever seen but from a buyers standpoint that made it pleasant. And the aisles were wider than in the past.
I'm sure I missed a lot of neat stuff--I never got around to seeing all the tables.
And best of all, there were a lot of interesting folks to visit with!
