What is the best antique arms fiar in Europe?
 
In the US the Baltimore Show [runs for 2 days every March, and in fact just ended yesterday] is considered by many to be the best one, for both the edged weapons and the firearms.
Which European arms fair is the best, in your opinion?

There used to be one big fair in Paris and another in Nogent sur Marne, France. Don't think they still take place.

Apart from those, the best fair I know is the London Arms Fair which is held each February.

Forget about the little fairs in Germany if you wish to see real high quality A&A. The market is dying worldwide. Even the big sales houses have little to offer.

The show in Rungis, France claims to be 'the best in Europe'.
Don't know if it's true or not.
Also, I found it odd that many shows in Europe run for only 1 day. Here in the US most big shows run for 2 or even 3 days.
