HSCA Annual Meeting and Exhibits - Nov. 11 and 12, at Tulsa,OK

 

 

The High Standard Collectors' Association held their annual meeting in conjunction with the Wanenmacher Gun Show in Tulsa, Oklahoma, November 11th and 12th, 2017.  The meeting was attended by many members, and a good time was had by all.  Several members had displays of High Standard firearms with a nice variety of types and eras represented.  The HSCA had more displays at the show than any other collector group or individual collectors.  It was a good representation of our association.
