I met Ian Skennerton today

[zaugau]

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Skennerton at the WAC gun show in Puyallup, WA today, real nice guy. We talked some about a Mk1T I had bought last month, among other things Enfield. I ended up buying the big Lee-Enfield book and the Armourer's Perspective: No4 T Sniper Rifle book, and had them signed.

There was also a very nice Enfield display table which hincluded a trials sniper, a Mk1T with all the goodies, an L42A1, and an Enforcer.

Of course there were plenty of other cool display tables with Garands, Carbines, etc.

Outside the building they had a bunch of US and British WW2 vehicles, mostly jeeps and trucks, mounted with M2 and M1919 machineguns. One had a Bren mounted. They also had a British tracked vehicle there which I believe was an Archer tank destroyer.



Very cool show!

He is a true gentleman. Willing to impart any and all information he has to a visitor at his booth. I met him in South Carolina a few years ago.

zaugau, glad to see you made it back to Ian before time was up. Also, thanks for the kind words about my Enfield display...... I did manage to win third place for the military displays....that was worth a hundred dollar check, paid for my hotel room at least. Ian stopped by my display a few times during the show, the last time to get me to buy a copy of one of his new SAIS booklets. That guy is a born salesman!

Was it S.A.I.S No. 22?

I met Ian at a gunshow here in N.C. several years ago. I really enjoyed my conversation with him and look forward to seeing him again...
