I just returned form the Odessa, TX, gun show. About 275 tables, not a big show. An initial go-round of the tables didn't show much of interest and high prices. Lots of S&W, Colts and Winchesters. The S&Ws in particular, seemed high priced. The only one I particularly remember was a 'pre 27' 357 Mag, 6 inch barrel, almost no blue wear, very pretty; $975. Nevertheless it was a good show and we will be back for the next one.
Both my partner and I managed to score a few real jewels. He picked up a very pretty little S&W in 32 Long, and I found a Reichsrevolver M 79, made by Gebr Mauser with a holster, and an M8 flare pistol; the only flare pistol I have. It will go in with my US military handguns. I have some questions on these, which I will address in other threads; if I can't find answers here, I probably can't find them anywhere.
Here's a couple of thumbnails of one of my finds, an A.C. Co knife dated 1917, with scabbard by Pelco, dated 1918.
