Las Vegas Gun Show

[James T. Kucaba]

It's time for my annual question ... The question is: ... How many of you guys are planning to attend the Vegas show at the Riviera Hotel & Casino Friday, January 15th thru Sunday, January 17th ? ... Vegas is my favorite show, and I look forward to meeting new friends from PGCA every year.

I plan to attend and am glad to see others are as well. Last year was the lightest turnout I've ever seen which is a shame since the NRA had all three Invincibles on display. While they may not be there this year, Jack Puglisi, the Julia Auction folks and a few others had many outstanding Parkers. If anyone wants to get together for dinner etc, give me a call when you get there. (978) 394-2784. I'll be there from Thursday afternoon on.

Every year I think I might go and then something else comes up. I'll be pigeon shooting that weekend in Philly.

Mike,
A few years back I came up with the idea of "Parker People" having lunch together at about 1:00 PM, on Saturday, in the Buffet Restaurant of the Riviera ... The food is good, the price is right, and it's right upstairs gun show which is really convenient.

JIM: CHECK OUT THE HAMMER GUN PAGE HERE! Looks like Amoskeg's got what you've been looking for coming up. I hope you get it!

Best Regards, George

James: At the gun show are you allowed to bring guns in to sell if you don't have a table reserved. I guess my question is are there buyers there for good quality doubles. Thomas L. Benson Sr.

[Joe Wood]

Thomas, you are most welcome to bring "for sale" guns into the show. And yes, there are probably more serious buyers attending than anywhere in the country. Good luck!

I just got off the phone with Amos Keag Auctions ... The # 430 T-Latch opened and sold at $3,000.00 and sold on a single bid ... The only interested parties were a guy in the crowd who made the $3,000.00 asking price to open and me on the phone ...

Since EDM informs me that all Parker T-Latch guns were the chambered for the 12B brass shell and that the 14 gauge didn't come out until AFTER the T-Latch was discontinued, I just let it go to the on-site bidder for the $3000.00 opening bid because I don't really need a duplicate to the lucky #666 T-Latch I currently own.

James, my lunches are always at the Marilyn Monroe hot dog bar. You can't beat a dollar hot dog and a dollar and a quarter beer and the lunchtime trivia contests. Too bad I'll miss this year.

[James T. Kucaba]

Bill,
Being from the Chicago area, I'm a hot dog and pizza connoisseur ... Nothing in the world can match a good Chicago Dog or a properly made, thin crust, Chicago Style Pizza ... And although I don't drink very often anymore I keep a 12 pack of Heileman's Old Style Lager and a 12 pack of Canada Dry Ginger Ale in the refrigerator and a quart of Jack Daniels in the cabinet in case I get a craving a good beer or a Ginger-Jack ... I've never heard of the Marilyn Monroe Hot Dog Bar ... Is it in the Riviera Hotel or somewhere else ? ... Maybe I'll hit the Hofbrauhaus for "zum Deutschen eck" one night while I'm in Vegas.
