Hampton Coliseum gun show was quite good this time.
More than 700 tables and that is up from previous shows.
Vendors willing to mark items at gun show prices and willing to negotiate.
Lot of buyers which means if you see something you want, better not hesitate.
I missed a nearly perfect Rossi Model 1992, 20 inch octagon barrel in .44 magnum for 375.00 negotiable. I went back today and he lamented selling the thing for way too little to someone else.
Lot of cap and ball revolvers including some used ones at fair prices.
Bought a Mitchell Arms SAA with a 4 3/4 inch barrel. (Only short barrel Cattleman I own and was thrilled to have it at 325.00.) Box and papers but the pistol is not new unfired. Cosmetically it is less than perfect. But has been shot very little.
Traded a box full of bicycle revolvers in poor condition for a Pietta 1860 Army that is all bound up. Should be fun getting it working again.
The guy who is trying to sell a defarbed and antiques 1858 Remington Clone as an original is still there. I didn't call him on it accept to ask for provenance which he could not provide.
