I didn't pay to much for that old Arisaka, I just bought it a little bit too soon!

An excellent show to be at, Mr.Bill Alexander was there autographing copies of his book, My Private Life.




I ended up with a 2nd place display award for my 'knives and nambus':







I think I got to meet "Drew_The_Fan" and saw all the usual suspects, picked up some parts and found a 'SEI' marked Type 44 reworked to type 38 configuration for training. All in all, an excellent show! Ray Labar won Best of Show with his Bayonets of Japan Display, I got 2nd with my Knives and Nambus of Japan. I did not see who got third. For less than 300 tables, you absolutely can not beat this show! Hope to see yall Easter weekend for the next one!

For you collectors with other interests.....there were lots of interesting stuff other than Japanese items. Two guns that caught my eye were a post war .45 auto conversion of a Luger into a target pistol, and an 1896 Mauser Broomhandle in 8.16 mm, very rare. Many .45 M1911 and A1 autos and a lone Johnson semi-auto rifle of WWII fame. Also, a M1919 Browning water cooled MG. All in all, a really great show.
