    Looks like a successful event - a huge well done chaps and chapesses.

    It was certainly busy and quite eventful. One of the traders had a heart attack before he had even unloaded his car, thankfully one of the helpers is an off-duty paramedic who stabilised the chap until the ambulance arrived.

    We have heard that he is in good spirits after having the clot removed and a stent fitted.

    Too many guns, or not enough time?

    Handy helpers to have around, are off duty paramedics.

    Please pass on our best wishes to the poor chap if you get the chance Mark.
    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.

    Thank you very much for sharing the photos, Modski66.
    It looks like a fantastic event.
    My late friend Steven Dowell always went to Melbourne Fayre.
    I must go in the future.

    Who was the chap with the snapped off Webley Mk1 rifle ?
    If it's still available I'd be interested.
