Hot on the heels of the stands being packed away at the first Olympia Antique Arms Fair – held on September 30 – the date for the second has now been announced.
It will take place on Saturday, April 18, next year, at the same venue: the Pillar Hall at the Olympia Exhibition Centre in west London.
This venue is handily just round the corner from the 25 Blythe Road auctions ‘collective’ run by Thomas Del Mar, pictured below, the organiser of this new fair. He plans to hold them twice a year. The aim was to “revitalise and encourage new interest in the once musty world of martial objects hailing from centuries ago to the First World War”.
