now going to an arms show or a world war ii weekend event every week has become a great pleasure in my life. of course, this fun can be shared with everyone!

i remember that the first time i went to a gun show in june was at the fire station in gettysburg township, pennsylvania (referred to as pennsylvania). this gun show was still in this town. during this period, i also participated in the pennsylvania gun show. the world war ii weekend event held at ding airport and the tank weekend event in berwick county, also located in pennsylvania, i found that pennsylvania is indeed rich in martial arts. there are so many various activities about war and military here!

gun show in english means gun display, and because all the items displayed here are for sale, i will use the word "gun show" uniformly from now on.gun sales” is a term used instead of a military show or a gun show.

next, let us take a look at what good things are available at this gun show.

on september 28, 2024, it was raining. i drove outside a building in the town of gettysburg. the rain had not stopped at this time. after parking the car, i saw an old man walking in the rain with a gun on his back. it reminded me of i watched many clips from american tv series. since i didn’t bring an umbrella and i got up a little early, i decided to rest in the car for a while and wait for the rain to subside before going in.

(the exhibition venue is a community activity center)

buy a ticket as soon as you enter the door, pay 10 us dollars and get a stamp on the back of your hand, and you can come and go freely. i found out when i got home that because i had to dig into my pants pocket with my left hand, the oil mark rubbed on my shorts and couldn't be washed away, so i lost money. a pair of shorts...

(the two on the right are event organizers, they are brothers)

(the words above are meaningful)

this time, the exhibition venue was larger than the first one at the gettysburg fire department. there were two areas. the exhibits were mainly various civilian guns and old guns. this gun sale was different from that kind of large exhibition. there were no such things. very modern weapons have appeared, and there are no automatic weapons. the most common ones are various rifles.

a mortar shell costs 400 us dollars. you can put what you can into it and use it. of course, you should check the laws of your state before doing these things. the united states is a country ruled by law, and each state has its own independent there are laws in the united states, and there are federal laws throughout the united states. all laws are very strict. on the contrary, anything can be done if the law does not prohibit it. as long as it is not written in the law, no one can give you an outline!

this guy actually knows me. he saw our reenactment in reading in june. he has a type 59 parade helmet in his collection. i found a video for him to watch and confirmed the origin of the helmet. he was very happy.

(springfield means "springfield")

my favorite m1 garand rifle, this one was used by the navy during world war ii. i can't see any difference. the boss said that all the parts of this gun have not been replaced and are in original condition.

i personally don't like guns with carvings, mainly because they are too troublesome to take care of. this type of gun is more suitable for display than for playing. but the carvings are so beautiful!

the old man below is sitting in a wheelchair. even though he is old and has poor use of his legs and feet, he was a shooter when he was young! below is his collection.

let’s take a look at various pistols. does anyone know what model they are?

the old man on the right in the photo was on the battlefield in vietnam, and he prefers to hoard bullets.

this old man is not a simple man. he has a store in gettysburg that sells military supplies during the civil war. he has also acted in many movies about the civil war. his house was the filming location for the gettysburg movie. , it is said that general lee once commanded the battle of gettysburg in the yard of his home. i plan to find time to visit his military store.

(the old man is a big boss in playing badges in the united states)

marine corps memorial event registration office, where you can register for events in october.

entering another venue of the exhibition, although the venue is small, it does not mean that there are few things. just go in and take a look and you will know!

(it feels like this is an armory)

(a rifle used during the civil war)

this young man owns the most guns in this exhibition. all the guns below belong to him... i think when i saw his collection, the words came to my mind: your uncle it’s your uncle after all!

some people like to play with guns, and some also like to play with knives. the man in the blue polo shirt practiced bodybuilding when he was young. this one is quite strong even for his age, especially the determined eyes, which should tell a story. the knives on display include there are a lot of them, but it’s a pity that i have a problem with playing with knives, otherwise i would definitely buy two for fun.

(the uncle’s wife likes to read, a warm scene)

the old man chatted with me for more than half an hour about his type 56 semi-automatic rifle. i checked some information for him, and the old man was very happy.

we’ve seen guns, bullets, and knives, so it’s time to look at something else.

the envelope from the german head of state during world war ii was exclusively for hitler!

these things are very interesting. they are items from the american civil war. i think they are stirrups used by cavalry. do you know what they are used for? please leave a message in the comment area.

in addition to photographing military products at every exhibition, i also take portraits of stall owners and send them to them as souvenirs. this is a very meaningful thing for me.

(i deliberately chose to take a group photo in front of the portrait of general li)

(gettysburg town fair information)

(as usual, i will post a picture of me at the scene)
