Just wanted to open talks on posibilty of setting up some collectors display in future shows. Maybe this has been done and I missed the results. I for one would like to see a display set up like the ruger, colt, winchester and other orgs have done at some of the larger shows.DWF Sign

My friend Dale Adams aka Tigger from the forum ahd also suggested some of us do that at some point since DW's are so rarely if ever represented at shows.  I do not know how to go about it myself, do you have to pay to actually "show" a representation of a manufacturer?  I think it is a great idea and should be a real head turner since nobody is doing it.

 

Thanks Pops

I have no idea what all's involved either, but it sure sounds fun.DWF Sign 

Getting enough members to one location at the same time, will be the hardest part I imagine. Maybe if it's planned a year or two in advance...

Only real cost involved is the table  — my buddies show Single actions out here and pay the same table fee as the sellers $75/table.

I was going to wait to announce this, but now seems like a good time…

I am REALLY going to try to make it to the NRA 2011 Annual meeting… Pittsburgh, PA

If I can get my work schedule aligned, and a cheap plane ticket, I'm there.

That sounds like a great idea.  I couldn't do the April show mentioned above, and I'm tied up for Oct into 2nd week of Nov.  Those two times I work 70 hours per week.  I'm too gready to give that up and my work wouldn't like it either.

Sounds like a good idea. Sorry I wouldn't be able to help though...Iz only gotz one.

I'll be at the Pitts show at end of April, 4.5 hour drive for me. Hell, Midway should give me a free ticket with all the money I spend with them?

I guess a year in advance would be necc due to vacation schedules and getting a slot at the show and such?

The only DW's I have (that nobody else seems to have), are my models 9 and 709.  Good news is they are both pretty much flawless and nice for a display.

It would be really cool to see one of each DW on  table.
