Tauranga residents are being offered an opportunity to travel back in time and enjoy the relics of the past at the Arms and Militaria Show this weekend.

Held at Greerton Hall today and tomorrow, the Arms and Militaria Show is the perfect place for budding and long-standing collectors and anyone with an interest.

'There'll be stuff for the likes of militaria collectors, those who are into sporting firearms, knives and more,” says one of the show's organisers Dave Cross.

'There'll be all sorts there! Medals, swords, firearms bayonets and much more.”

'If you're new to collecting or interested in getting started, there will be plenty of people to have a chat to – including dealers and people who have been collecting for years,” adds Dave.

Bring along your own items of interest too, says Dave. 'You can have it appraised or sell it on.”

The Arms and Militaria Show is at the Greerton Hall Saturday, August 20, from 9am-4pm and Sunday, August 21, from 10am-3pm. An ACT representative will also be present.
