Tuesday, March 19, 2024

Spring 2024 issue of the HSCA newsletter was mailed today.

Distribution of the Spring issue of the newsletter was mailed today.

Thanks to Ken Rabeneck, Jerry Watson, Gary Hooper, Bob Snider and High Standard of Montana, Bill Jenkins, Steve Schrott, and Brian (el Presidente) Rebuzzini.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE write and submit an article for the newsletter. E-mail it to Nightdoc@aol.com. Include photos if you have them. I need articles to continue publication of the newsletter.

Alternatively, I will start printing issues only when I get adequate articles to justify the cost of printing and mailing three instead of four times a year.

Send me a message if you have paid your 2024 dues and not received a Spring newsletter by 20 April 2024.

AUGUST WEST COAST HIGH STANDARD COLLECTORS MEETING IN OREGON

The dates are August 24 & 25. Here is a connection to the Oregon Arms Collectors website. http://www.oregonarmscollectors.com/home.html

The web site mostly deals with the Monthly one day shows but does include the 2-day show in August. Several of us have reservations at the Holiday Inn Portland West - Hillsbuoro, 2575 NE Aloclekl Drive, Hillsboro, OR 97124, phone 503 640 1745. I can pick you up at Portland Airport (PDX) Or there is a train that runs out to Hillsbuoro. This venue is much better than the old one, but is 20 miles west of the Portland Airport which is east of Portland.

Please pass this information to all who might be interested.

I wanted to let you know that I still have 5 display tables available in the High Standard area, just in case one of the other High Standard Collectors wants to do a display.

ABOUT HSCA

The High Standard Collectors' Association was founded in 1991 to promote friendship and communication among the those interested in the collection, research, preservation and use of High Standard firearms, memorabilia and accessories. We include the Fiala, Hartford Arms and Schall firearms as part of our group. They were the direct predecessors to High Standard.

Newsletter:

HSCA publishes a critically acclaimed quarterly newsletter which includes articles and photographs of High Standards. Members are encouraged to participate by asking questions of the group on the forum. The forum is also used to review or make comments regarding High Standard products. Members may advertise to sell or buy High Standard items, or make comments related to High Standard products. We also publish pieces from historic High Standard literature. In order to share information we have copied previous newsletters to DVD. They are available for sale to members only.

HSCA holds annual meetings at a large gun show each year. In 1994, 1997 and 2014 meetings were held in Cleveland at the Ohio Gun Collectors Meeting. The 1995 and 2003 meetings were held in Houston.
