CGCA Show in Denver 5-13,14,15-2011

The Colorado Gun Collectors did a bang up job with this show. There were 60 displays in competition, most of them well done. Our Winchester Lee Straight Pull display highlighting the Maine gun was well received. We did win a Judges Choice Award which makes us proud. If you have not been to one of these 'once a year" shows plan to attend. You won't be disappointed. We will be there next year.

THE MVACA 7-2010 DISPLAY SHOW

We attended the July, 2010 Kansas City Show with two displays. There were 50 displays in competion, most of which were serious competition for us. Our Lee Straight Pull display featured a new aquisition, one of the rifles recovered from the Maine. The NRA and Club judges did not favor this display, but rumor has it that the Maine Rifle was in serious competition with a Gatling gun that won "best individual gun".

We also took our Hotchkiss display, which won nothing from the NRA, but won a top ten runnerup from the Club.

As usual a great time with close friends and fellow collectors.

Ohio Gun Collectors show May 22&23, 2010

We took both our Hotchkiss display and our Winchester Lee Straight Pull display to this show. Many, many nice comments on both displays. The Judges gave us a 'Judges Choice' award for the Hotchkiss display in the Antique Category. Since the Hotchkiss display is our favorite one to do, we were especially pleased with the award. As usual the banquet at the Air Force Museum in Dayton was outstanding. The OGCA does a wonderful job with this program.

Colorado Gun Collectors Show Results

We had a great time at this always wonderful gun show. The displays were outstanding!!! We won a recognization award with our Hotchkiss display, but the Lever Action display (which usually gets all of the attention) won nothing. Here is a photo of each.
