Most of the sellers are old, so they have stuff to sell. There is a long tradition of individual private sale tables there, although the age of most members does not give this a long future.<br style="outline: none !important;" /><br style="outline: none !important;" />Only Curio-Relics and Antiques are allowed in the door at the CGCA Show. No modern guns. No black guns. 800 tables of just collectible guns and gun-related stuff. The club awards thousands of dollars in prizes for the best display tables so there's always museum-quality stuff to gaze upon and real experts around to learn from.<br style="outline: none !important;" /><br style="outline: none !important;" />No clothes or food or tools or coins are allowed. Or art or jewelry, unless related to American history or by native Americans. It's the only gun show worth attending in this state all year. The other Colorado shows are shameless flea-markets.<br style="outline: none !important;" /><br style="outline: none !important;" />Hotels are cheap in Greeley and the local politics are pro-gun. The lighting in the show hall is really good and parking is free. Colorado's background check and waiting period laws do not apply to C&Rs and antiques.<br style="outline: none !important;" /><br style="outline: none !important;" />Many of the big internet gun auction companies like Rock Island Auctions rent tables to meet the public and promote their services.<br style="outline: none !important;" /><br style="outline: none !important;" />May 18 and 19, 2024 with two days of set-up on the 16th and 17th when the table holders have an internal pre-show for each other, before the public arrives. (For a premium admission price, members of the public can access the show during set-up, also.)</div></div>JON MILLERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16924810076381150998noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652662568131517792.post-79968634172739774432024-01-24T17:04:00.000-08:002024-01-25T15:16:57.761-08:00Request for help with research project.<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> Steve Schrott is leading a research project.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Several members report having Model H-D pistols with safeties in their collections. These are quite rare. This project is to get some estimate as to the number out there. We realize that the results of this project will be, at best, "imperfect". </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The search is for pre-war Model H-Ds with a safety located at the back of the left side of the frame.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">These guns will, for the most part, be in very good condition as they were top of the line target pistols before WW II. They will probably be Type II takedowns. The grips will probably be the top-of-the-line target or "Roper" configuration but could be the cheaper black plastic instead. The rear sights are not adjustable. Magazines will have two toned lips. Slide and frame numbers should match. <b>Model H-D is roll marked on the left side of the slide.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR USA MODEL H-Ds OR H-D MILITARIES. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">If you have one, please send a description and if possible, photos of both sides of the pistol or send some contact info to either Steve (SSHistand54@gmail.com) or Jon Miller (nightdoc@aol.com)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is not an offer to sell or buy your pistol. This is an effort to find out how common they are.

exactly what its title promises. It traces the 52 year history of the High

the final chapter of the company which was officially dissolved in December
1984.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="ydp4e33380dmsonormal" style="background: white;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">This book is unique in its preservation of
information based on first person interviews with the company’s designers and
engineers by John Currie in his three decade quest for
information. There are scores of photos of the people, their
prototypes and rare and commercial firearms. Graphs and illustrations give
dates of manufacture and numbers of firearms produced with </span><span face="Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #1d2228;">charts

I have already received mine in the mail! The publisher did a miraculous job. I hope you enjoy her work.</p><p>If you want a bigger or better newsletter, make it happen. I have received complaints that it does not arrive in a timely manner. My three reasons: </p><p>1) If I do not have enough material to print and justify cost of postage I don't! So, if you want more in your newsletter submit articles on a High Standard topic to: <span style="color: #2b00fe;">Nightdoc@aol.com. </span>I am the acting editor. I do not do research. I print articles that are submitted. </p><p>1a) Consider doing a better job than I do by publishing one of the quarterly issues. I am willing to help you.</p><p>2) USPS does its best too, but when you have not updated your contact information they cannot make delivery. </p><p>3) If you have not paid your 2023 annual dues you should not be receiving the newsletter anyway!</p><p>Please remember that there is a NORTHWEST REGION High Standard club meeting and show the last weekend in August. It is in Oregon. Contact Jerry Watson for specifics. <span style="color: #2b00fe;">WATSONLJ500@MSN.COM.</span></p><p>If you missed the annual HSCA meeting at the OGCA shame on you. There were great HSCA displays as shown in the newsletter. LOTS of High Standards on sale tables. One experienced member reportedly bought 8 firearms! Even John Stimson made an appearance on Saturday. He and Steve Schrott are, in my opinion, the best resources of information on High Standards. </p><p>If you are a paid-up member and have not received a Spring or Summer 2023 newsletter, contact <span style="color: #2b00fe;">Nightdoc@aol.com</span>. I do my best to contact members if a mailing is returned to me. (See item 2) above.</p><p>"THE BOOK" <b><u>HIGH STANDARD 1932-1984 CONNECTICUT </u></b>is with the editor and almost ready for publication. Steve Schrott is confident that he will have 50 copies to sell at the Tulsa show in November. Four of the authors will also be there to answer your questions.</p><p>Members should feel free to share your High Standard experiences on this Blog.</p><p>Nightdoc</p>JON MILLERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16924810076381150998noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652662568131517792.post-1334749278715671972023-05-10T10:19:00.001-07:002023-05-10T10:19:57.710-07:00MODEL USA H-D M/S AUCTION<p> POULINS AUCTION HOUSE HAS A HIGH STANDARD USA MODEL H-D LISTED FOR AUCTION</p><p><br /></p><p>AUCTION WILL BE CONDUCTED MORNING OF 12 MAY 2023</p><p>ITEM LISTING with good description is 1032.</p><p>Serial number indicates that it was shipped to War Department 10/10/1944 as an M/S.</p><p><br /></p><p>Expected opening bids around $9,000.</p><p>Expected hammer price of $18-28,000 USD!</p><p>Good luck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jon Miller</p>JON MILLERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16924810076381150998noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652662568131517792.post-78617185068836630622023-05-02T10:22:00.000-07:002023-05-02T10:22:14.390-07:002023 NRA INDY<p><b><span style="font-family: inherit;
