IIRC they used to put the upcoming auction's cat up on their website a few years. They don't seem to do that now. Maybe to make it a little more difficult for the antis to get a copy.
I emailed Steve Privett, the convener, about a week ago asking if there is a pdf available. He has not replied.

Has he replied as I was going to email and ask the same thing and if they can put it up on the website
Easy to do a word search if it’s a pdf
Lots of nice stuff in the auction. Fingers crossed we can go in person as I see it’s been set back again until may !!

Yep, same for me, the pdf is the best way to quickly find items of interest.

No he hasn't replied. Go ahead and email as well. I'm going to resend my message as well.

From Ted Rogers

Dear Collectors, Shooter’s, and Friends,

Unfortunately, due to the NZ Government Covid Pandemic Red Traffic Light Restrictions we have had to postpone the 12th & 13th February 2022 Militaria Auction as we would be limited to only 100 people attending. We usually have 300 to 400 people participating over the auction weekend.

We have canvased the main vendors who insist that the auction be live and not run as a postal auction.

Remember you can view what photos we have of the items at https://www.flickr.com/photos/militaria-auction/albums

With the cooperation of Southwards Car Museum in Paraparaumu we have booked the 4th & 5th June 2022, Queens Birthday Weekend in the hope that we will be at Orange Traffic Light Restrictions by then which will allow us to hold the auction.

Thank you for your patience and understanding in these difficult times.

Please check your junk/spam mail for our email updates.


Stay Safe.

Ted and the Team.
Militaria Auction Ltd

And, from SSANZ (Sika Show already posted elsewhere)

Dargaville Gun Show 12 February.

Napier Gun Show 12 March

Sika Show, Hamilton, postponed until 29 & 30 October.

This one is still scheduled -

NELSON BRANCH AUCTION Sunday 27th February

I must admit, teds being put off for a bit isn't too bad. There is a jungle carbine bayonet in there i suspect will sell for a bit. Good to save more pingers. Lots of good stuff in Ruahine auction aswell

Did anyone manage to win their goodies from the Ruahine auction? First time I had ever done postal bidding. May become the norm this year

Chrissie has just emailed (15:02) out the Prices Realised. It's a bit ugly though, not sent as a pdf just as an email.

It bit hard to follow but all lots seem to be there just a bit mixed up in some of the columns.
Copied straight from her email.

The invoices are out now for sucessful bidders

From Antique Arms. Further confiramation. I thought it was already canned?

The Hawkes Bay Branch Gun Show scheduled for Saturday 19 March is CANCELLED for this year.
