VA Arms Colletor's Gun Show

This week-end I decided to do something different at a gun show. I put on a display of Remington Model 8 & 81 Semi-Automatic rifles. These rifles were designed around the turn of the century by John Browning who sold the patent rights to Remington Arms Co. & they produced the gun in 6 different calibers until 1950. For my efforts I won the Judges Choice Award. On the table you will see some different vintage books and vintage hunting licenses which I collect. Hope you enjoy seeing the picture.

JJ now that is cool, I'd have loved to seen that in person. It's nice to see people like you still representing these ole "springpoles". I see you have a copy of "A New Chapter in an Old Story", fantastic book. I've got a digital copy of it, where did you manage to find yours?
P.S. thanks for sharing the cool photo.

Very cool display. Congrats.
Would enjoy seeing the old wanted poster if it wouldn't cause an issue posting it.
Cam, sharp eyes! Thanks for the tip on the book "A New Chapter in an Old Story", I'll now start a search for it.
