Great photos Banjara. I see a preponderance of European weapons. I didn't see any American weapons in your photos. Out of curiosity, are European weapons more favored by people in Dubai?

Thanks guys, I did get to handle a 12 bore double and a 500 nitro double at the Anderson Wheeler stall as one of the Anderson's son was sporting enough. The 12 bore shot gun side by side, a handmade with some amazing hand done engravings was prices at USD 25K.

There not many American arms manufacturers displays, there was Remington and Marlin and Jack Brittingham ( an American) was there promoting his Tanzanian hunting outfit. I bought one of his CD's on hunting in the Mongolian trails. His website is WWW.jackbrittingham.com but as you rightly pointed out that there were more European Arms manufacturers than American.

Will be loading soon some more photos as soon as I get some time to label them.
