A 5 HOUR DRIVE TO TIMONIUM WOULD BE WELL REPAID AS THE SHOW IS REGULATED AND ONLY ANTIQUE ARMS AND RELATED ARE ALLOWED. THERE ARE NO NEW WEAPONS, JEWELRY OR KITSCH AND QUITE A LOT OF ANTIQUE WEAPONS MANY BEING FIRST CLASS BUT SOME CHEAPER ONES FOR THOSE OF US WITHOUT DEEP POCKETS AS WELL. LOTS OF GOOD DISPLAYS OF WEAPONS FROM DIFFERENT PERIODS BY GROUPS AND INDIVIDUALS AND THERE IS AN ARMS AUCTION SATURDAY NIGHT. A GOOD CHANCE TO MEET AND VISIT WITH SEVERAL FORUM MEMBERS EVEN IF WE ARE NOT HAVING A DINNER AND PRESENTATIONS.
THERE ARE SEVERAL ETHNOGRAPHIC ART SHOWS IN SANTA FE NEW MEXICO IN AUGUST THAT USUALLY HAVE QUITE A FEW ETHNOGRAPHIC WEAPONS AS WELL.
