The show was excellent as always although only a handful of forum members like Tom, Dave G., and Jack made it. The hosting committee which includes Dave G. does a phenomenal job. Saturday was so busy I was swamped especially not having my wingman. The buying and selling was furious, but it slowed down a lot Sunday. Jack Bell and I did dinner both nights and Nick Periut and his wide Laura joined us one night. The weather was fantastic for Central Ohio this time of year especially.
I will try to post pictures of some of my acquisitions later this week. They include a 24pdr Bormann replacement-fused sideloader, a 24pdr with a watercap fuse, a 4.2" Selma bolt, a 6.4" bottlenose Parrott bolt, an Atlanta 10pdr Read, a sleeved Read 20pdr shell, a round nosed 20pdr Read shell, a CS Parrott knock-off 20 or 30pdr (can't remember, probably 30!), a 2.6" Dyer exploded - oddball there, a 2.5" Britten bolt (no sabot, unfortunately), a sectioned Selma Broun, and some cool frags. I also added some pieces to put on the website which I will be doing shortly.
Thanks for keeping the forum active during my offline status but now I am back.
