This show weekend is like none you have ever experienced. First, this is an
ALL COLT SHOW ONLY. No other weapons are
allowed on the tables except for Colt items. There will be guns at this show that may have never been seen before or collections
that have taken a lifetime to build and, in some cases, several generations. Historic guns from the Civil War; guns presented by
Colonel Samuel Colt; guns that date back as far as 1837 or as new as the 1990's. As our show locations change, so do the
magnificent displays, allowing many of our members to show their collections.
The event really starts on Thursday as most of the table holders and officers and board members will arrive on this day. There is
early registration and set-up for the table holders, usually followed by a gathering of many of the members in the restaurant and
bar to begin getting reacquainted with one another.
