Gerald,

Please google search for Jon Hosford and you will find his website. I would not want to be accused of marketing!

I sell Jon's dent raisers and wall thickness gauges on my website ... see link below

Jon personally taught me the proper use of my wall thickness gauge, which is not of his manufacture. How about that.

Did anybody take a photo of that rotating stand that Jon Hosford built that was at the head of Steve Barnett's tables? I've never seen anything like it.

I'm sure the dent remover & bbl wall gauges were thrilling, but did anyone see any interesting GUNS at the show?

What does Mr Hosford have for guns in those cases behind him?

I suspect this dent remover works very well. However; I have one double that needs a dent removed and $600 would only be worth it to a pro gunsmith.
Is there anyone in the Scottsdale,AZ area who does dent removal?
Jim

Single gauge is $250.00

If you have never been to the Las Vegas show you are missing a unique opportunity if you are a fan of classic doubles. I find a missing piece of my American classic collection every year. This year it was a Grade 2 Colt 1894 in high condition. Our Lefever display this year included 6 A grades from 1878 through 1919. There were too many high grade European guns to count.
Contrasted to other shows there are no tables seling jerky, rubber tomahawks, or camoflage gear. There are no black guns there. More or less the wheat has been separated from the chaff ahead of time.
I don't believe Jon Hosford routinely sells guns. He was in front of another dealer's table.

I've been, but years back when it was a bigger show.

Other than the Colt, anything really special?

Thanks for the info.

OWD
