Gun shows

Thanks to everyone who called in for serial number searches from the Missouri Valley Arms Collectors Assoc. show last weekend. I did about 30 serial number searches and answered a lot of questions about the CFM and the Records Office.  Wish I could have been on the ground there.  Hopefully the budget will allow us to go in the near future.

Next month I’ll be open to support the folks at the Big Reno Show on the 15th from 9 am to 5 pm (Moutain time).  Check out the Big Reno website for information about the show http://www.bigrenoshow.com/

Business Trips

As I write this, I am sitting in an AVIS office at 34th and Main in Kansas City, MO. I am waiting for a lift from one of our museum members – I am taking him out for lunch. The Gentleman is a longtime member, purchaser of Factory Letters, and a great source of information on Model 21 Winchesters. Should be fun.

This has been a busy few days. One of my bosses and I flew to Oklahoma City and spent a couple days in Idabel at the Museum of the Red River. The MotRR is a GREAT small museum down in Southeast Oklahoma. Idabel is a wonderful town – kinda reminds me of my hometown in Illinois. Same size, same folks, same WalMart…

The reason we were in Idabel was two-fold. I gave a presentation about Western guns to a standing-room-only crowd on Friday night and took part in an “Antiques Roadshow”-type event on Saturday.

My ride is here, so more later.

Cheers,

Dave K.
