Default Well? What did you bring home from the Southern

Hello fellow members,
If you are willing to share I would love to see what you acquired at the Southern this year. Guns, memorabilia, clothing, really anything you feel is cool.

I love some good pictures too so don't be shy.

Thank you in advance
Matt

The only things I bought were two Lefever Arms catalog reproductions.
And as I was driving home on Sunday, I found out that I came in third for the "Uncle Dan Lefever Cup". So... my plaque is currently in the mail to me.

The best thing I got was Wilbur Parker's patent book, but I also got a lot of other cool stuff, including gun racks, shooting vest, enough RST shells to start a war, snap caps and tons of other stuff. I came back with one fewer gun, but have a replacement on the way if the seller will cooperate. I have learned to not count my chickens before they hatch

It really is a treasure and has a great provenance too.

Hey Matt, hope all is well on your end of the planet, same for Dean. Tell him I said hey please. I never bought a gun at the Southern and I believe it was my best to date. I have lost count of the PGCA folks I met this year. These acquaintances and friendships going forward will be insignificant compared to a purchase. Don't get me wrong I could be happy with a long barreled small bore to ��. Take care.

An “Overload Proved” stamp from Remington.

And some other various odds and ends from vendors.

I bought a lot of Oysters at the Sea Breeze.
Articles I brought home, a Chas. Parker Co. 953 Vise, a 1-100 reprint of Partridge Shortenin'.
And best of all, a much appreciated bit of knowledge provided by Louis Parker concerning Parker collector Paul Carson from Wellsburg, WV.
