I’ve been to that place once and not for the fair . Got a few flints from them and of all things a very nice 1880’s -1910’s PA made meat cleaver . Of the five or six cleavers I possess it’s the nicest .

Belin had been in operation since 1912 and that ended a 60 year operating span, and now Goex is out of the BP biz after ~50 years. As I understand it, there are now no operational BP mills in the US and only a few remaining in the world. |

There “was” a guy in the Winchester VA area close to where the North-South Skirmish thing is at , anyway he bought most kinds of BP in bulk and sold it . I dunno if he’s still in buisness or the name .

Regarding the Gun Maker's Fair, I read recently that Dixon's will no longer stage the event, and in 2022 it'll be held a few miles down the road at a local community center. I hope it continues as it was a truly unique gathering of some extremely gifted artisans.

So the Dixon ML Fair will probably be held at the Kempton Community Center. Used to live about 10 minutes from Dixon's on Crystal Cave Rd.
