One day after the 2015 SHOT Show ends
the Beinfeld Las Vegas
Antique Arms Show begins that includes the Firearm
Engravers Guild annual show at the Riviera Hotel &
Casino, Las Vegas. It runs from January 23rd to January
25th.
The entry fee to members and public:
one-day pass = $15, three-day pass = $35, and an Honor Guest pass =
$90 that allows entry to the show at the same time as the exhibitors.
Because Beinfeld Productions is in charge, FEGA members will have to
pay to get in like the general public. However, cheaper hotel rates
will make up for the extra expense.
The hours open to public and FEGA
members:
Friday 23rd – 9am to 5pm
Saturday 24th – 9am to 5pm
Sunday 25th – 9am to 2pm
You can call the toll-free number for
reservations: (800) 634-3414 or visit the hotel web site at
www.rivierahotel.com. The
room rates are $50 to $90. The code for Antique Arms group room rate
($89 per night) is SARM114.
On the 24th there will be a
banquet and auction that begins at 6pm and is $58 per person.
Proceeds from the auction helps pay for the cost of the show and also
helps finance FEGA. The complete convention schedule is HERE.
The auction firearm is a classic Steve
Heilmann Winchester Highwall 1885 with a 29-inch barrel, half round
and half octagon. It is fully engraved with a classic Western theme
and gold inlay. The following artisans contributed time and skill for
the auction firearm:
Steve
Heilmann, metalwork.
Gary
Goudy, stockwork.
Ron
Smith, general layout and design of action engraving.
Sam
Welch, gold line work on action.
Mike
Dubber, 24k gold barrel lettering, tang lettering, and breech

You can recognize from the names that
the Highwall rifle will be a one-of-a-kind collector piece to the
lucky person (and wealthy) who wins the auction bid.
