    Birmingham Arms Fair

    A Heads Up for tomorrow's fair - Sunday 18th June at the Motorcycle Museum, just off J6 of the M42.

    Anyone going?

    Roly - I know you're a regular and I enjoy our fair chats every few months.

    Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
    Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.

    Yes. My clubmates and I have got a table from which we will be selling off collectables that are surplus to our needs. Look forward to seeing any BBS members who visit the fair.

    Wish I could go as I'm still after a rifle or three but heading back from Scotland, so it will all be over by the time we get back, hopefully the next one.
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Hi John,

    Yes we'll be there packed up and ready to go. 20 rifles and approx 100 pistols both modern and collectable so plenty to see. Boxed Paratrooper repeater, Webley Tomahawk, Omega and Supertarget, Mark II and Mark 1 rifles and more....
    See you there John.

    Hi Roly,

    I had a feeling that may have been the case when I didn't see you at the fair.

    It was a good show and I'm writing up a review for Airgun World as we speak.

    Kind regards,

    John

    The Dazzling Lady Docker by Tim Hogarth. Fascinating woman. In the 1950s she was more or less in charge of BSA.
