Any one attending the Maryland Arms Collectors Association Baltimore show, please make an effort to visit with KCA founding members with tables there. Those that I can think of right now are Dan Lowery, Dave Clark, John Spangler, Charlie Wheeler, Tom Pearce, Scott Duff, Dan Klemens (who hangs out at Scott's table) and I believe Craig Kirkup also has a tabe there. Doug Rainbow and Carl Weiss are often there but I don't believe either has a table. If I missed any one just post here!
This is a top notch show with a lot of great things to see and people to meet and well worth the visit!!!!

I've always wanted to go, but, being 2000 miles away, and on an ever-tightening budget spiral, I doubt that it will ever happen.

Too bad you are so far Dick you would like it.

I'd go too, but also... Michigan is a bit of a drive! Hope you have a great show though.

I have never seen so many Krags and trapdoors at any show ever!!!
We saw an 1898 rifle with a Parkhurst device on it and no serial number! A Parkhurst lunch box special!! Also one with the muzzle threaded for silencer!
We never saw Tom Pearce or Dave Clark, any one heard from them?

Yes, it was a fantastic show. Great to talk to some of our KCA buddies. Also fantastic to see guns like the "lunchbox Parkhurst" and the Krag fitted for silencer. Of course, since I was carrying a long Krag to sell, there were loads of Krags for sale and it seemed everyone was looking for a '96 Krag instead of a '98. I did pick up a very rare Schultz and Larsen RPLT 42, which are chambered in 8x58R, so I was quite satisfied.
I am not sure about Pearce and Clark either.
