    Airgun Show on this side of the Atlantic today.

    Great time and came home with a Britannia. Unfortunately the organizer of the show passed away a month ago, a little bittersweet for sure.

    That Britannia looks lovely. Great to see. Looked to be a well attended show - I especially like the pistol with the globe reservoir.

    Some great photos there Steve.

    Looks like an excellent fair and a great tribute to the late organiser.

    Well done on finding a Britannia.

    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.

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for sharing the pictures of what looks like a great little show of which the late organiser would continue to be justifiably proud.
    Unless my eyes deceive me, there is a Tell3 nestled in the corner of one of the pistol displays. I guess these lovely pistols are as sought after in the states as they are over here.

    Unfortunately this was the last show no one willing to keep it going. Was the show that got me into the hobby when I retired. Another show was organized several years ago close by so all is not lost.

    Thank you for sharing these photos Steve.
    Love your stand.
    Do you know if the Crosman Town & Country sold? Nice looking example.

    Louis, that T&C was a 107, and it was bought by a friend of mine.

    Nice pictures, you can just about make out my tables in one of the shots. It was announced at the Friday evening meal for us vendors that there will be no more Flag City Toys that shoot events as you said, but there will be two new ones instead at a different location. Dan was a super nice guy and hosted the event from 2006 I seem to recall, his wife was determined to make this last one happen, and everyone who was there made it a memorable event.

    Thank you Don R. That's a lovely gun.
    I found a 107 several years ago with a similar light maple stock, and it will always stay in my collection.
    Even though I think the 10X series is better, the Town & Country Senior has something special about it.

    I believe that 107 was refinished but I could be wrong.
