Tupelo gun show
Went to the Tupelo furniture market gun show this morning about 9:00am.There were plenty of tradeers showing guns , knives and ammo, coins ,even a few good looking home made cakes and pasteries.There were a lot of collector guns: Rugers,number ones in a lot of varities,super blackhawks from the 60's on,77 top safties,in good numbers.Unfortunately saw no Parkers today but that first table on the left (some folks associated with Steve Barnett in the past) had some nice lc's,ithaca nid,english london jones action double as well as some early Browning fn 22 auto,and other long and short guns.We saw several ithaca 37's ,some impressed ,some cut checkering.One table had quite a collection of Winchester repeating shotguns from the 50's on to the 70's.They even had a 59 with the fiberglass barrel.The theme of the show seemed to be repeating shotguns of the 50's to the 70's on many tables.The old Ted Williams guns took me back to my youth when I spent hours pouring over the Sears Christmas catalog . There were lots of Marlin 336's and Winchester 94's on many tables.They had the highest prices,pushing towards a thousand in good condition guns.Most of the guns were reasonable and people seemed to want to deal.I hoped to run into Charlie Cleveland but my trip here was a last minute thing after being out of town all week.Go to your local gun shows,it can be truly fun and a good way to meet people with like interests.
