Keeping Arms: The History of the Maryland Arms Collectors Association and the Baltimore Show

For nearly seventy years the Maryland Arms Collectors' Association has existed as a club in which sixty of those years has produced what is considered the "Crown Jewel of Arms Collectors Shows". Here is the amazing story of how such a small gathering of collectors managed to put together such a wonderful outlet for collectors and historians to gather in a somewhat open air museum. Told in a lively style, laced with humor, the reader is carried along through the narrative accompanied by ample pictures to show how a few Americans have managed to put together a unique organization that continues to educate the public, assist historical institutions, and enhance the field of arms collecting throughout the United States and the world.
