Golden City Club Shoot

It was a slightly overcast Sunday morning, it actually felt like Natal Coastal weather - and we were ready to shoot at Golden City.
OK, now don't have a laugh. Because we were out the entire day yesterday at the auction, I saw to it that everything was packed before we went to bed last night. Rig, magazines, glasses, caps, etc - half way on our way this morning we realize we don't have our guns with us. So quickly home to load them up.

Karen on the Line

We weren't late and this morning it was a lazy Sunday shoot with everyone very relaxed. I think because they all have the Nationals behind their backs and just going to enjoy the shoot.
8 stages - 148 minimum rounds - swingers - pop-ups - plates - hostages - loads of moving backwards - all in the days shoot.
Loved it as usual.
Thanks to Alan, Steven, Karen, and Stuart that shot in our detail. It was super fun.

Then I would like to wish Karen all the best. She is going to the States to shoot in Florida in October. Enjoy it and do well.

Classic Arms Gun Collectors Auction

It was the long awaited Classic Arms auction and Richard is very excited and happy about his collection today. He bagged two of the best guns on the auction today, both of them being very rare.

D 84 - Used in the Spanish Civil War and WWII

D 28 9mm Luger Artillery Pistol

D 73 - 9mm Walther P38 Pistol

D 19 - 9mm FN High Power and D 22 - 6.35 CZ Pistol

E 95 - 7.65 CZ Pistol

E 112 - 9mm CZ Pistol

Good day for our WWII  and CZ Collections.

Now for all the paper work the licenses but I'm getting good at this.

Tomorrow is Golden City Club Shoot - Can't wait.

Flora Arms

Last week Friday was a public holiday and we decided to go for a ride on the Harleys so  Richard decided to give them a quick clean but this quick clean became a car clean, a bakkie clean and then a quad clean so no riding on Friday.

Saturday we were of to Flora arms to have a look at their collection as we are still building on the World War II collection. This was a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Guns and Harleys.

This was a particularly good practise run on the Harleys as it was Saturday morning traffic in the heart of

the northern suburbs.

The collection at Flora Arms was not that impressive and nothing of interest was found for our collection so we will have to wait for the Classic Arms Auction.

Middelburg Trip on the Harleys

It might seem to you as if Guns and Harleys is in hiatus but actually we have been very busy.
We have been working on the paperwork for the collection of World War II. It has been so interesting doing the motivation for Lowveld Firearm Collectors Association. We have had to research each pistol and going back in history and seeing where they were used, where and how they were designed and manufactured has been fascinating.
We are now on the last leg of getting all copies of documents certified and accumulating all this information in the order that is required of the authorities.
We have not been able to do a long ride on the Harleys as we have had more than two

Middelburg with Ada and Loggie

weeks of consistent rain. Everything is waterlogged and it is virtually impossible for the garden service to mow the lawns and see to the flower beds.
The weekend though the sun broke through and we made the most of it.
After church on Sunday we decided to hit the highway, destination Middelburg in Mpumalanga. We called old friends we have not seen since we left the farm last year and told them we would drop in for a cup of coffee.
This was the most kilometers (300 round trip) in one day done on the Harleys so far and we could feel it in the backside so when we got to Middelburg and Ada and Loggie who will spoil you to bits when you visit had a braai (barbecue) with all the trimmings - even home baked bread and jam.
I loved the ride - I loved the lunch - I loved the people we were with - I love life.

Warrens Birthday

Last week was Warrens Birthday and for the first time in many years we were able to spend

the time with them.
 
It was lovely seeing the girls together. You two are beautiful.

We had a three in one celebration.

It was both Warren and Channel's birthday and then also their Wedding anniversary.

We wish the two of you great Blessings from God and may you two and your home be filled with love.

Wew must do this more often.
