Be careful collecting in general and at these military shows. These dealers some of whom would sell their Grandmother if there was a profit in it would happily take your money even though they would know the item to be a copy. I'm talking also about the well known ones who have been doing this for years. Join a respected forum and have the item authenticated before you buy anything of high value, it will save you a lot of grief down the line if its not.
Lol. This will be my 5th year going. It is alot of fun. I will be recording a video again while I am there. I have recorded every year. It's fun meeting other collectors as well.
Thank you so much for these great SOS videos, John! I have attended the show every year for at least a dozen years now. But, it's always great to be able to experience it again virtually, every now and then, until the next show happens. Your videos allow me to do exactly that. And of all the SOS videos on UA-cam, yours are definitely the best. Thanks a bunch! I truly appreciate all you do.
Great footage !! Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I went to the first 10 years of the SOS but haven't been back in a long time. Maybe one day !! I'm more of a "medals" guy but still love to see all the uniforms, gear, helmets and rifles.
Thank you for running the Camara slow so we can appreciate the video, some people do it at 100 miles an hour we have to stop the video to see - you did a God job
I went to the sos for the first time this year and loved it! My biggest complaint though was the massive lack of pricing on items. Extremely inconvenient, especially when the vendor was speaking to someone else. I walked away from many potential purchases because of that.
I agree. It gets on my nerves. All they have to do is price the stuff on Day 1 and then at like Day 3 or 4 then they could just have signs that say like 20% off or something like that. If they were the type of seller that wanted to actually sell and not have to pack it all up and take it back home. Lol.
John thanks for posting this video. I was happy to have gone to the SOS in July. You and I had waited in line on Friday morning and chatted. A lot has happened in that 7 months. I am really glad I made it when I did. Thanks for filming a variety of items, even the things you don’t collect. - Best, Rick
I enjoyed the video for sure. I hope there is a part 2. Alot of interesting items for sure. And as always very nice displays. Nice helmets were plentiful I see for your collection. Look forward to seeing your purchases
Hey amigos...are there more shows like this in the US in NYC for instance...? Is this one in Louisville repeated every year? I am from Madrid, Spain and would like to program a visit. Tks a lot folks!
This is held every year in Louisville. There is also a military show called The Maxx which is held on Pennsylvania. There are quite a few other smaller shows around the country as well.
They are there for sure. Sometimes hidden behind or underneath piles of Ike Jackets or Dress Jackets. Plenty of them to be found for sure. It's a great show.
My wife and kid tested positive for COVID the day before I was set to leave for the show. Hate I missed it, but I’m thankful for videos like this that at least give a glimpse at all the great pieces that were there.
I'm sorry to hear about your wife and kid. I hope they get better soon. My wife and I both had COVID last August. Thanks for watching the video. Hopefully you can make it to the show next year.
I've just bought a m5A1 garand bayonet from a UK dealer that I buy military gear from ,like bayonets inert ammo. He came back from the show of shows after buying bayonets. So the m5A1 garand bayonet I've got is from the show of shows 👍👍..
@@JonBoyMilitaria Don manufactures reproduction parts. Puchased broken/missing parts for my type 14s & type 94 nambu pistols. His workmanship is top quality, go to guy for all your Japanese weapons replacement parts. Might see you there.
@ 14:12 That's ERDL camo! That was our issue in the Marines (1979 beginning to be phased out in about "82) I absolutely love that pattern! The boonie hats in sizes larger than a 6 3/4 are getting very expensive! The BDU's are almost impossible to find. Incidentally this pattern was chosen over the Rhodesian brushstroke pattern for political reasons!
Thank you for sharing, I really enjoy the video!! Would love to go there someday, I live across the country. Question sir, do you have any idea about the booth at 9:41?
Thanks for watching. Hopefully you can make it some time. I'm sorry I don't know the seller or the name of the company in the video. But they are there every year.
When I was a Kid, I remember attending many shows like this (and Gun Shows) with Family Members. I think what I remember most were the "oddballs" walking around the show, people who look like they've never seen a shower or a shave. Wearing old Military garb. This was the mid 80's mind you, maybe things have changed a bit. Never found much interest in what anyone was selling, other than Firearms maybe. Your video is probably the first I've seen of one of these Shows in 20+ years.
It's alot of fun. There are thousands of people that come every year. People from different walks of life. Different countries as well. Some people dress up doing impressions. The good things outweigh any bad things while attending the show. I love meeting other collectors and building relationships as well as looking for new additions to my collection.
Nice video, shows the rest of the world what they’re missing out on. A question to you and others who watch your vids, what is the best way to sell off an average collection where you can get the most value for it?
eBay works well, if you know what you have and are able to wait. I always get good return for items when I find it’s time to sell them. Price them on “Buy it Now” and allow offers. If you do an auction, you risk getting an unsatisfactory amount.
I talked with the owners. They are going to work on getting some helmets listed on their website before long. They are great people and have some amazing helmets.
Excellent videos of the SOS show! You give us prices on items that are new to your collection at home. Is it possible to let us know what prices they are asking for at this or other shows on a few of they items you find interesting? I'm assuming most show prices are rather high but it would help know what they are asking in the market today.
At the show there is always stuff that is outrageously priced as well as some deals to be found. Just gotta keep your eyes open. I have seen an item priced for example: $100 and then go further down the aisle and someone else has the same thing for $10. Alot of the dealers think they have something rare or uncommon/hard to find but in reality it is a very common item. Just walking around/being at the show will show people that all this stuff is "out there". It's just hoarded up alot of times.
@@JonBoyMilitaria wish I could. A dealer who I buy from in the UK has just been to the show of shows. So yeh I would love to go. I'll be s kid in a sweet shop if I was there. Deffo would get a M1 helmet. I've only got one M1 helmet. How much are they on average in the USA?
It make u want to buy stuff to learn what it feel like using the equipment and to honor those who gave their live for their contry US or Germany or russia or any state
Iv been collecting WW2 for 45 years ,in the few years more people are into WW2 collecting so things have been going up in price, one thing I noticed is WW2 binaculars are still very affordable - I'm an old fart and been selling my stuff for the last 2:years but if I was young I would jump into the binaculars for some reason the collectors are more into the WW2 weapons and uniforms ( the uniforms no one care for long time until now) I remember WW2 1911s were very cheap and today one in excellent condition is 5k , it could be the New WW2 movies that got people More into it.
Honestly, I like to collect a little bit of everything. I mostly collect guns, helmets, uniforms, canteens, ammo but sometimes I find myself buying other things such as binoculars, patches, random gear, etc... This is a fun hobby. I bet you have an awesome collection after collecting for 45 years!
I started collecting back in 2002 and the prices are insane for example a hitler youth dagger went for 250 dollars back in 2003 and that was in mint condition, today it would cost you 3000 dollars to get the same dagger.
If I wanted to I could pick up two hundred pairs of WWII boots they are "white" on the side there is a nipple on it to put air into the boot..You could walk through snow and ice and water for days even weeks and will always keep your feet warm..He wants $5 Dollars a pair.. I did three tours in Vietnam I could care less about any of this stuff..To me it's just a bad reminder of what I did and what I saw I watched the show for about 10 minutes could care less I'm off..
Be careful with the German WW2 things like badges daggers flags banners there wasn't much and there were many copies! I'm here in Germany and I've been collecting for over 30 years and only originals
There is so much stuff there. There is alot of common stuff there but it is pretty cool seeing the actual rare stuff. There is a pretty good variety of stuff to see and buy. It's best to be picky about what a person buys. Can't have it all. Lol.
Since you love This kind of History may I share some of the greatest World War 2 History channels out there? I know of a couple of Cilver War channels that I have enjoyed as well.
@@JonBoyMilitaria This is the GREATEST WW2 History channel on UA-cam!! ua-cam.com/video/pu9soeMx22Y/v-deo.html So authentic,pure,and real! Just a single Dad and his two children EE-Eagle Eyes and BBG- BUNKER BUSTER Girl!! They metal detect, Magnic fish,travel,explore,find rare artifacts,and even go under the ocean with a robot!! I truly have not found anything like it!! They even give once a month away thier finds to their supporters. Man $2 a month for thier cheepest membership. I wish My life hadn't gotten hard. I had to stop my membership. Man such behind the scene videos,pictures,documents ECT.. that you will never see on thier channel!! I miss being a member!!
These guys restore old guns especially World War 1 and 2 guns. Which buy the way some have been found on thier Magnic fishing channel. Just look on thier community page. Their second channel should be there.
How much of this stuff do you think is reproduction items ? I have a guy who buys from all over the world and he told me the reproduction stuff has been perfected to the point he has a hard time knowing the difference. He got ripped off by a guy in Ohio who claimed his father brought back this full luftwaffe officer dress uniform with all of the ribbons , badges, and patches. It had all of the tags with the numbers that would check out for the war time period . Gets it home and really looks at the pants and in the pocket he found a sticker that said in English ( luftwaffe general officer extra and then the size of the uniform ) it was something made to look real but a extra playing a Luftwaffe officer was the one who wore that uniform .
There are definitely alot of fakes out there. Especially German stuff. It'd highly faked. That's why I don't collect it very much. Always remember to buy the item not the story. Alot of "stories" are made up to get more mone for an item. I always assume the story is not true. It takes alot of provenance to prove that it is true.
@@JonBoyMilitaria for me no go. I don't come America in with out bulsshit vaccination. But I like your stuf. Do you have also nazi stuf? In Belgium there is in October samen market like this. Only 2times biggee
I pretty much have quit going to gun in shows. Most of the dealers inflate prices well over retail, no bargains to be had. Alot of fake crap, and just really no reason to attend
I agree. Alot of asking prices are nuttier than squirrel turds. I don't go to as many gun shows as I used to. But the show of shows for me is exciting because I like to see all the stuff and I enjoy meeting up with other collectors as well. There are deals/decent prices to be found. Just gotta dig sometimes and be at the right place at the right time.
Be careful collecting in general and at these military shows. These dealers some of whom would sell their Grandmother if there was a profit in it would happily take your money even though they would know the item to be a copy. I'm talking also about the well known ones who have been doing this for years.

Yeah, seeing that many DDs SS and “Normandy” camos would make me suspicious as well

There are plenty of them at the show every year. Some dealers (usually gun dealers) don't like for their stuff to be recorded or pictures taken.
@@JonBoyMilitaria Any chance you could give some ballpark pricing on what some of those dealers are asking for 1911s and M1 Garands?
I really love it my respect to ,them doing a great job!!,keep up the good work!!!!,🫢🔴🤫
Thanks for watching
I pretty much have quit going to gun in shows. Most of the dealers inflate prices well over retail, no bargains to be had. Alot of fake crap, and just really no reason to attend
I agree. Alot of asking prices are nuttier than squirrel turds. I don't go to as many gun shows as I used to. But the show of shows for me is exciting because I like to see all the stuff and I enjoy meeting up with other collectors as well. There are deals/decent prices to be found. Just gotta dig sometimes and be at the right place at the right time.
