Treasures From the Vintagers
Alright I am curious. Did anyone find anything they had to have at the VC ? For me I had my sights on a 36" hammer gun but unfortunately the deal could not be made. Brian Dudley did deliver a Parker he had been performing some work on so I did not come home empty handed. There were some nice Parkers there for certain.

Bought a CH 12ga Bernard from Steve B., sold a DH 20ga and Fox SPE and got a commitment on a Ithaca NID grade 3 super ten. Lots of great guns. Josh L had a Fox XE 16ga that got me thinking. Josh also had a fantastic Fox FE. His Fox D is a good buy for the guy looking for a nice first gen D, looks better in hand than his pictures. Kirby Hoyt had a beautiful Steven Grant side lock that was a knock out for not much money. Steve Barnett had a bunch of great guns including a 8ga DHE but WAY out if my league price wise. Big fun!
The CH Bernard joins my CH 10/34 Damascus, CH 10/32 Bernard and CHE 12/32 #3 frame Damascus. Randy nice to meet you and chat for a few minutes. Craig |
Same here Craig, nice to finally meet you. Sounds like you were in the middle of some good ones. Josh did have some great guns for sure.

Bought a little 20g, VHE, straight stock, single trigger gun, from Josh.
It was a great event. I got to meet some interesting people and talk to others that I only see every year or two. I'll be there next year and hopefully find another gun I really don't need. |
I got a lot of good stuff but no guns. A highlight was seeing a VH 20 Brian has done a full restoration on. More to come on it. I got some Parker brass shells, a great old leather case that needs some love and a bunch of other stuff.

I saw that gun also Mills, nice. I bet there is more to come on it:corn:

Got a real nice 1921 DH 20ga straight grip ,with hangtags from Josh, he had some real nice guns.

It was nice to see all of you that I did see/meet.
Randy pointed me in the direction of a good lot of Parker parts/collectibles that I was able to buy from another vendor and I am glad to have them for sure. I was able to get a few cases for personal guns and steve had a boatload of case covers to dig through and I found a couple that fit my new cases nicely. |
It was very nice to meet many people for the first time and put some faces with the names. I didn't wind up buying anything except for rounds of sporting clays. I kept pretty busy all three days!
