It was a pretty good show. No shortage of vintage S&W revolvers, but prices were high and seem to be creeping up still. I saw many K frames-15's, 17's, 19's in various condition. There was a nice Nickel 4" 57ND N-serial in presentation box for around $1.5K. One guy has a 657 snubbie that I've seen at several shows, and he has recently added "Lew Horton Edition" to hang tag, but the s/n doesn't seem to support that claim. Asking price is north of $3K. Reloading supplies were almost nonexistent, only a few odd trays of LPP, SPP, and SRP, all for $15 each. I didn't come away completely empty handed, I found a new unused set of Lyman .30 Carbine dies for $25. Do I reload .30 Carbine? Not yet:D

I saw a couple of interesting guns. An AMT Backup in .45ACP with wood stocks. I've never seen wood stocks on a Backup and don't know if they were custom or not, but they were very well done if not OEM. I also saw a Firestar in .40 and was tempted to make an offer on it. The more I think about it, I might go back and check to see if it's still there tomorrow and make him an offer. Second day admission is free anyway.

On the top of the sizer die there should be a 2-digit number to tell the year of manufacture. The decapping pin may be T shaped or straight, depends on when they were made. (If straight should be interchangeable with RCBS pins. I think Small size)
