The British Legion club is located right next door to a Sainsbury’s supermarket on Derby road, Melbourne. Please note that all of the available sellers tables have been booked and there is a list of sellers on the reserve list so it will be a full event.
I have attended these fairs for the last two years and there can be some very good bargains to be had. I got an excellent condition 1959 Mk1 meteor for £65, a restored 1905 BSA Lincoln Jefferies for £140 and a Weihrauch HW80 Mk1 in excellent order for £150.
The fair is geared towards collectable airguns, more than newer models, though there are some recent or near new items available.
I would say it is well worth a visit even if it is just to look around, you will see rifles and pistols that you never knew existed as well as the collectable classics. But it will be hard to walk away without making a purchase when you see what is available.
It is the organisers intention that the sellers are collectors themselves rather than dealers, so you know you will be talking to people who are enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the subject. Refreshments will be available and there is a raffle with some great airgun related prizes.
