Went to Maitland Arms Fair today, usually try for Saturdays to get first look at the goods.
But had the boss girl with me as she wanted to do a bit of shopping.
This time around, there was more gear there than the Penrith Gun Show, heaps of L.E Parts and timber and a large range of rifles and collectibles........I added 25 S/Ns to my Lithgow list and found a couple of gems.
.......and thats where I'm not sure whether to cry or not.
Hidden under a lot of grease and dirt, a Lithgow 1914. (allready have two in this year) big problem was it was converted to .410.
But the conversion was a dinkum Lithgow SAF job, so bleeding heart me had to take it.
Mentioned it to Ian Skennerton when I stopped at his stand to say hello, all he wanted to do was sell me another copy of Aussie SMLE Variations(S.A.I.S 19) But I have two copies of that anyway, so we parted on a laugh.
Not been bothered with the variations to this stage, just been content to collect the Lithgow years, but the last couple are taking time to aquire, so might just have to be content to pick up the oddball here and there.......bugger.Information
