i just got an update from my father who has a table there. Very slow show, only one very cheap sale. This crowd wasn't making any offers or having many questions. He did see some bargains on antique/vintage militaria from other dealers including 2 CW bayonets he purchased for $40 each but a disappointing show otherwise. i havnt gone in over a year. It used to be a great place to pick up items from people walking around but now they want retail or higher for common items like regular imported nagants.

I've come down with an illness and don't feel up to going out, maybe next time. Bummer that it's a slow show for the guys.

Went. Enjoyed it. A lot to see. Plus Farmer's Market on Saturday.

Go ahead, rub it in, now I'm getting over my bout with dehydration.

My son and I went on Saturday and enjoyed it, too. Smaller crowd than normal and some of the usual sellers were not there. Also, starting to see more and more unrelated items appear - there was a table this time with jeans and overalls. Normally, Bill Ricca runs those out. Still lots of interesting items and some good deals.

Seeing the price of the Mosins for sale convinces me I need to sell off some of my herd. I've got too many.
