Should be some nice WW1 items. I will likely have an antique firearm or two for sale or swap.

WAC website says this is a members only event. If your $57 annual dues haven't been paid up, no admittance.

Damn.....4 hour drive for me

 

[Steveoko22]

Id hate to pay money for an event that's just expensive antiques like most gun shows. I drove all the way to bend Oregon to a gun show for powder and saw a cut up vetterli rifles for 700 dollars. Give me a break

The swap meet is members only and their invited guests. I only collect British revolvers so I don't even notice Continental rifles. I did find a cased British revolver last swap meet for half what Las Vegas was asking.

And I saw a list of what one fellow is bringing, all in what's said to be very fine or excellent condition. Here's a partial glimpse: WW 1 Imperial German 1896 Red 9 Broomhandle Mauser with shoulder stock and leather holster $3500, Nazi Army K98 Mauser with original sling $2000, Enfield No 2 Mk 1 revolver stamped RAF $1200, US Army Colt Model 1917 double action 45 with holster $2500.

Almost all his items were C&R and more knowledgeable folks said the prices were decent.

My advice is to attend, bring cash and a Persian rug sellers bargaining skills.

Is this a yearly event?
Thanks!

 

[JamesAllen1]

No, WAC had three in 2025. This is the first in 2026. There might be four total this year depending on response.

 

[JamesAllen1]

Only hours away! Hot dang!

I've got a Sharps derringer for sale and a C&R Browning shotgun!

 

[JamesAllen1]

If you build it they will come!

 

[JamesAllen1]

It's getting busy!

 

[JamesAllen1]

Shot of second floor, first floor is good stuff too.

Friday's swap meet I did see an intact Vetterli rifle significantly less than that.

Then there is hope. I managed to pick up an 1859 sharps carbine at a estate sale yesterday in Olympia. Deal are to be had everywhere, sometime you just gotta ask " hey, any guns in the back?"

 

[JamesAllen1]

The swap meet had a little of everything. I saw a cased London Colt $3K. A Forehand & Wadsworth bulldog $375.
