    Great going Les, you deserve it. PS if there were shows like that here in Australia, the press would turn it into headlines saying we were going "backwards" and promoting "evil"!! Amos

    Amos, there is a circuit for Militaria and Weapon shows eg Link.

    Nothing wrong with Gun Shows, you can pick up good knives and I bet that Cartridge Pens etc would get a gurnsey and possibly sell well.

    Well done indeed, you must have been as busy as a dog with 2 tails lol. As a weekly stall holder at a local market I know just how much goes into that effort, its a lot of talking and discussion amongst the sales, as we tend to elaborate our passion to the clients .Feedback is also one of the plusses as well , strangers tend to be a little more critical and honest in their comments ,luckily most are good hehe, cheers ~ John
    G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

    Hey Les,

    Well done, both on the Sales side and the Display, It feels good when people buy your stuff because they like it and appreciate your work.

    Liked your display perfection and sales results, your work is peer setting and stimulating. You must have trust in the guy with the stall back of you the rifles are pointing your way I notice. Thanks for your many displays from time to time and showing us for a long time the standard to acheive. Amos with the help of kit makers is contributing well as well as other makers. I have a stunner in motion from my own design to be made in the next few weeks thanks to your intro of this subject. Last weekend I showed my Snakeskin pen from a blank from Glimmersnmore Rick and Gina query poor Snake so I suggested they take their leather shoes off hold them up and say poor cow, we do get precious selectively IMHO.

    Regards to you and all pen makers. Peter.
