2016 Gettysburg Show
« on: October 11, 2016, 11:32:12 PM »
Hello,

I thought I'd start a thread on the upcoming Gettysburg Show the weekend of October 28th.  I went last year for the first time and it was a great show.  The scenic beauty of the area and the weather were perfect.  Also apples were coming in and were delicious.  And of course if you like things related to the Civil War you might find Gettysburg to be of interest.   ;D   Unfortunately some personal commitments are keeping me from going this year but I do plan to go next year.  I hope if you are in the area you can make the show.
Best,
Carl

I'll be there. I try to go to the autumn show every year. Great time of year to go to Gettysburg. They usually have some nice WWII relics there too. I was hoping you & Mike might have a couple tables  there this year. :)

I went to the show saturday. Picked up a nice non-dug 12#  side loader case shot . fuse  screws out and you can see the yellow matrix and case shot. Good one for me as I only have a small collection. Beautiful weather and Gettysburg wasn't crowded . Great weekend.

Nice pickup.  Non-dug CS shells are hard to come by.  It is a really nice time for year to be in Gettysburg. Really beautiful.  See any other good shells, bullets, etc. for sale?  I remember some nice displays last year too.
Best,
Carl
