I know last year one of the members here (whos name I cannot remember) said there was a spring time gunshow in Baltimore, MD. What interested me at the time was that there were people with antique sabres and smallswords present, some of which permitted you to handle them. Anyone know which show this was and when its happening? Hoping to attend this year if it takes place.

Thanks,
M.

I plan on being there again this year and this time have some funds saved up to pick-up something to add to my M1902 collection.

I have missed the last three years of the show for various reasons but will try again this year...

If your interested in smallswords and such you might also try the Ft Fredrick Marketfair... lots of 18th century goodies there as well... and you can also camp out and shoot your rifle, fusil, or what have you. Might be neat if a bunch of folks went and did some ~18th century fencing at some of these events...
