If I didn't already suspect you'd have a 45-90 or something equivalent on board, I'd suggest you get one of these little Springfield Armory Scouts. They came in .22 Win Mag also, but that one is impossible to find. The .410 chamber is 3" so you can keep an assortment of shot and slugs.

Dennis,I'll be going to the Baltimore gun show do you have a table there and do any other members have tables? and row numbers would help. J.J.

Kevin McCormack and Bill Murphy will be in the historical location, B-4 and B-5. Maryland Antique Arms Collectors will be installing a bronze plaque commemorating our long time attendance at this location.

No, no table, this will be a quick trip, about a week, I don't intend to go to sell just want a nice musket.

I suspect we, my son, brother-in-law and myself will probably only go on Saturday. I'm not sure I can afford to even spend the whole day Saturday what with the temptations that will be offered. My plan is to take cash and leave the credit cards at the house, less tempting that way. I'll also leave the wife with my sister and daughter-in-law as she would say "if you want it buy it" and I'm certain that would make it a much more expensive trip.

Will the Parker Collectors Association or any members have a booth? If so I'll try to stop by and say hello.

We'll be staying with our son in Crownsville.

Credit cards don’t buy much in Baltimore. There is no PGCA table but lots of members have tables scattered all around the room. Off hand I can think of 8, but I’m probably leaving someone out. I missed last year, having a new hip later that spring, but I remember Allan Swanson saying he wasn’t going as Art Wheaton was no longer coming. There was always a gathering at his table as there was at the M&M table (Murphy/McCormick) chuck usually stores stuff under my table and Daryl hangs out there too.

Finally
 

I got the bug for a Woodsman several years ago after reading in the book Hemingways Guns that the Woodsman was his favorite handgun. I believe he had 3 of them and carried them in Cuba and Africa. Did not take me long to find a I think 1947 series 3 Model very good condtion. Had owned many pistols in my days but not this gun. Boy was I surprised at the accuracy!! Tracked down on EBay a nice Lawrence holster for it and I was in business. You have a very handsome rig with holster and clip carriers.
