The powder flask, hand-made in Finland, could fetch anywhere up to $50,000 while the pistol would be right at home in a James Bond movie.

Arms fair organiser, Ross Wood, said it is pieces such as these, along with the gamut of other products for sale, that make the arms fair so popular.

Mr Wood said he was stoked with the number of people who came through the gate over the weekend.

"Saturday was really good, very well patronised.

"We had people coming from Melbourne, Port Macquarie, Bega, the ACT and Newcastle."

It has been 12-months since the fair has ben held, with the Bathurst event held the weekend before COVID hit last year.

"Last year just got in before COVID, Bathurst was the only arms fair in NSW last year," he said.

One of the reasons Mr Wood said the fair was so popular was due to the diversity of exhibitors.

This year the event attracted 61 exhibitors, which were spread out across the showground pavilions ensuring COVID safety regulations were met.

Mr Wood said a lot of planning had gone into the event, with planning beginning in October last year.

Among the planning including COVID compliance and tight security, given the nature of the items housed within the fair.

Mr Wood said a team of security were on guard 24/7 the entire time the fair was set up.

He said exhibitors are always happy to come to Bathurst.
