Photos From Kempton Arms Fair - Dec 2023

Ooo I spotted a GAT rifle. They’ve always interested me for some inexplicable reason. Did anyone notice the ticket price on it out of interest?

Cheers

On the 9th line of photos, on the right, what is that (home made? ) pistol above the 2 Webleys? How much was it?
Thanks

Sorry Guy - I've no idea I'm afraid.

Anyone?

Kind regards,

John

Looks like a home made concentric pistol? Very interesting but I missed it on the day.

Again excellent photos John, and like you say some rare, and very rare air pistols. and you now own one of them.

Thanks Mick.

I've been after a good one 30 years and sold one I previously owned as the condition was just not there. It took a while to find a replacement!

I can't thank Peter, Liz and Fay Binfield enough. It was my first time of having tables at a fair, selling pieces from my collection from 25 years of collecting where I have amassed far too much and it's time to move stuff on. Peter, Liz and Fay had the whole event sorted, smooth and hassle free from the moment of turning up (just in time, 8.25 which Liz and ourselves had a bit of laughing banter about, Liz believing we were late) and being directed to the nearest most convenient double entrance doors for unpacking a short distance to our allotted tables in the venue. It was great to meet Peter (Binners) in person, who again came over to check we were all alright with everything was ok. My son and I had a great day, I sold a number of items that I was well pleased with and spoke to a fair number of fellow enthusiasts. Hopefully we will be doing the next fair. Again a massive thank you to Peter, liz and Fay and all the team for a grand day out, cheers Sam and Roll.

Hi Matt
As Jon has said it was on the stand behind ours, the trader told me it came from a house clearance of a deceased engineer, it had no markings so no clue as to whether it was made for personal use or a company prototype
The trigger guard formed part of the cocking Lever which was hinged at the muzzle, you loaded it by u nscrewing a plug at the rear of the cylinder

It did attract a lot of attention

Hi Bob, sounds interesting, thanks.
Do you know how much the seller was asking for it?

Cheers,
Matt

No
I believe he said it came with other pistols from the same source, he was a nice guy I think he told me he came from Windsor, Peter will have his contact details
