Last Saturday & Sunday (March 5th & 6th) was the Redding Lions Club 29th Annual Guns, Antiques & Collectables Show in Redding CA. On Sunday, I heard there were 2300 plus people that came through the gate on Saturday. It was a bit crowded.
There were many wonderful displays on hand. Below are photos on my displays. At this time, I have not obtained permission to post photos of the other displays & if I do, I will post them. Being that the displays were being judged by the Winchester Collectors Association judging criteria, the competition was fierce (though the displayers didn't know this in advance). It came down to three displays competing for Best in Show. The top three display were; Hi Standard 22 Pistols, Ruger 22 Cal Firearms & M1 Garand Rifles. And, the winning display is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, The M1 Garands. And, a most deserving win indeed. It was a complete display of WW2 & post WW2 M1 Garands with all four manufactures be represented, including some very rare rifles.
