Military Surplus arms at gun shows!

[Adam Helmer]

Gil,

Thanks for the Nazi memorabilia update. Last Saturday I attended the Morris, PA gun show and fortunately there was ONLY one table of Nazi trash.

The prices for "As Issued" military surplus arms and accoutrements was beyond belief. To wit: I saw an NRA GOOD P-14 Enfield in caliber .303 British for $795.00. An 03-A3 .30-06 was $800.00. There were many Garands on display from $700.00 up to $1,900 for a Very Good Korean era specimen. The prices on WWII bayonets from all the belligerent nations began at $50 and went to $650. Most were FAIR to Good condition. I came home and appreciated by stuff, all the more.

Gil, I saw the British WWII film on History channel about the surrender of Goering. He handed over to his British captors what appeared to be a 4-inch Model 10 Smith & Wesson. revolver. I thought that was odd he had an American revolver when he could have had a pristine Luger to reflect his rank. Whatever.
