The seminar and dinner are sponsored, as every year, by Artzi Yarom and Avner Yarom of Oriental-Arms, and are completely free. An entirely voluntary donation to defray costs may be discretely left in the coffee can in the room should you feel inclined to donate.

Bidding at the Auctions Imperial Antique Arms Auction held in the same venue just down the hall begins at 8 p.m., with auction registration open from 10 am to 6:30 pm, so it should be possible to leave the Baltimore show a bit early in the afternoon, register and completely preview the auction and also attend the seminar podium presentations as well as briefly view the table displays.

As a head count is required in order to arrange for the 8 p.m. buffet meal, please register by sending an e-mail to ljones@vikingsword.com being sure to specify whether or not you will be staying for dinner. We understand many will wish to head down the hall for some auction action.
