I have always wanted to see displayed vintage, period photographs alongside photos of NCOWS members dressed and accoutered exactly the same to show people what we mean by trying to accurately capture the look and feel.
Then place a selection of paraphernalia appropriate to an impression, whether pocket items, dining items, gambling items, store dry goods or hardware items, etc.
I've seen enough guns, I wanna see all the other stuff that made up typical 19th cent. living.

Now that is what I'm looking for.
We always do guns, dvd of the National Match and copies of
The Shootist.
The only problem is; the show is this weekend. I should have started this thread last week.
I always have guns, the dvd and magazines; supplemented with "paraphernalia appropriate to an impression." I really like the photo idea.
I am considering:
using a bear skin rug for a table cloth.
using a barn wood box to elevate the dvd player.
displaying my Bill Proctor / Margret Lyles beaded rifle scabbard.
a fancy carved & engraved tomahawk.
a small display of some of the very diverse pistols that I have used in NCOWS matches.
None of us, is as smart (creative), as all of us. Let's cook up a display that will WOW the spectators.
