DECORATIONS FOR MY GUN ROOM

[REG827]

I am decorating my gun room with "old" stuff like old calenders, metal signs, wooden duck decoys, saddle bags...etc.
1) Does anybody know where I can find "old" stuff like that?
2) Does anyone have any suggestions to put in my room?

I have some of those old tin signs.

You can pick them up at gun shows.

As well you can get blown up diagrams of 1911s or M14s or whatever and hang them up.

Parke county, Covered Bridge festival is coming up October 14th thru 22nd. Lot's of yard sales, flea markets etc. That's where the wife and I pickup a lot of our collectable / decorative stuff. Our house is decorated in SouthWestern items. We have been collecting for years. Also look around on Ebay.

Check out a hobby lobby, they have lots of stuff like that, not old but looks old, and fairly inexpensive

Our local Menards carries reproductions of old tin signs from Remington/Peters and Winchester.

Flea markets have a lot of that junk, too. The prices are usually pretty fair.

I thought only Glocks blew up, Kirk?

I have one of those tin signs that I still need to hang up, showing various Speer bullet sizes.

goodwill, or a garage sale at an old persons house, it might take some time, but i bet you can find the coolest most unique decorations

Goodwill is a good one...you can usually find some oddball/older stuff there and cheap

I had a really cool Smith and Wesson poster, showing all Smith models (circa 1989) that my department head at Galyan's gave me. That one would be cool to have framed and hang.

coffee table fruit bowl full of inert pineapple grenades, thats my idea for my "man cave" when I buy a new house. you can pick the grenades up at certain milsurp stores or online.

Thanks for all the advise

I have done the same thing. Most of my stuff came from antique stores, a few yard sales. Old wood ammo boxes are everywhere, few oil cans here and there. Not a bad hobby on the weekends.
