Gun Show

Attended today in Luzern, Switzerland.

So how was it? Looks kind of Fuddtastic.

 

[357magnum]

Yes. Switzerland is like that. Lots of military surplus, hunting and historical firearms. Some tacticool stuff mixed in.

 

[baboon]

How would you say prices are, since the Swiss Franc & Dollar are equal?

 

[357magnum]

It depends. Local historical firearms like K31 or Sig P210 and German stuff like the P-38, PPK, and Lugers are cheaper than you would find in the USA. That is because the supply is more plentiful. However, all modern firearms are more expensive than you would pay. Switzerland is more expensive in general across the board.

Neat!
Do they like American Frontier era stuff?

 

[357magnum]

The occasional original piece is available. The stand in the photo was mainly replicas and modern reproductions.

There is a small ‘western’ following. There were a number of ‘cowboys’ wandering around with hats and fancy belt buckles.

Needs beef jerky & ninja knife vendor and a fat disabled dude in a scooter to plug up the aisles and it'd be just like USA gun shows.

LOLOLOLOLOL

I thought that only happened in DFW.

 

[357magnum]

There were a number of dried German sausage vendors. At least five knife stalls (including Ninja knives). There was a wheelchair, but not motorized, plugging the aisles. So very close!

How much were the Stg 57's selling for?

One of those is on the top of my Bucket List.

 

[357magnum]

Standard ones go for between 350 - 500 CHF (1-1 with USD). Tricked out ones can go for as much as 5,000 CHF.

I wanted to go to this show, but I had too many honey-dos.

Lol. Don’t forget the folks selling candles and tactical iPad cases. The best though is the old guy with 6 beat up guns pulled out of a 1050s storage locker all at 300% markup.
