Early 90's- picked up a Colt 1911, I remember walking around with it under my arm and others asking if I was selling!
Can't remember where the show was located!
Yuma, Arizona 1964 pre GCA 1968. I could tell you what you could get and the prices offered but you wouldn't believe me.
Lugers for 30 dollars? 1922 FN 32's for 12 dollars, no forms to fill out. Cash and carry, but no credit cards either. Webleys for 11.00 dollars, Victory Model Smiths for 16 dollars, 1903 Springfields choice for 35 dollars, Mausers from everywhere 9.99 and up.
But that was back in the FUDD days when evil white males ruled America, crime was low and shooting was primarily a recreational endeavor.
Don't get me started on ammo prices.
I was only 15 years old.
If I wasn't at that show, I would be very surprised. Are you from Tennessee? Supposedly they are stopping the shows at the fairgrounds now, but they haven't been much good in several years. The ones in Murfreesboro are really good. I've been to a couple of those during the last two years.September 1986, Nashville Fair Grounds. Bought a Model 27 in presentation box. I think it was $200.

I'm a little younger than that. ;-) my BIL went to Vandy. Great school.I was a freshman at Vanderbilt, and that was my first handgun purchase.
Marlboro back in the 90's
