I'm looking forward to it. It's one of the only places I get to handle some period original antiques.

I don't think I made it last year, but I went a few times before that.

The Baltimore Antique Arms Show has come around again, and is about 2 weeks away:

http://www.baltimoreshow.com/

They usually have a small selection of period swords and polearms from the eras we're interested in. The bulk of it is more recent, with lots of civil-war stuff, etc. But sometimes they have a few really nice things to see for our period interests.

Me too...well, in my case, swing up and have a look.  Baltimore's too close for me to ignore, plus, I've never handled a period antique (so far as I know) so this'll be exciting!  I can't see the site tho, when and where is it?

Just an aside, assuming they want us to come in for an audition, those of us doing the VARF longsword demo may be otherwise occupied on the 17th.
