- Here is the video I recorded while at the Show of Shows in Louisville, Kentucky. I was there a total of 3 days. The show was a lot of fun. I met up with a lot of really great people. I saw some really cool stuff. I made a lot of great memories and I picked up some pretty cool additions to my collection. I will be making a video of Pictures Only from the show and I will also be making a video showing my finds as well.

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

Same thing in the UK Stevie ,they swear blind it’s original so it pays to have some knowledge. So easy to get fleeced by these shysters , unfortunately it’s par for the course buddy.
Thanks for your video, very nice!
Thanks for watching
I can smell this video!
Lol. That's awesome.
thank you
Thanks for watching
I’d pass out of excitement if I was there
It's an amazing place to visit. I will be back in February and record a new video
What a fantastic display of history down there! Impossible to choose amongst all these treasures!!!
It is an amazing experience being there. I can't wait until February! I am counting down the days.
@@JonBoyMilitaria I trust you! Just be patient, hope you can hold until then! :))
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.

Thanks for sharing, but congrats on your family interest. Kind regards
Thanks for watching. God Bless
@@JonBoyMilitaria God Bless
I can't wait until the show of shows starts
Thanks Charlie
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 TH-cam, yours are definitely the best. Thanks a bunch! I truly appreciate all you do.
Thanks for watching Chris. I enjoy making videos.
Hey man I was there Saturday and had a lot of fun and got some cool stuff
That's awesome. Glad you had a good time.
I want to go here so badly
Hopefully you can come one day. It is amazing.
Nice
Thank you. I record every year. I made a video this year as well.
Rất tuyệt vời video rất ý nghĩa.va tôi rất thích video của bạn

Nice Hawley liner from this kid! Amazing stuff, I am drooling! Thanks for showing
Thanks for watching. It is an awesome experience going to the show.
Well, I can add this to my bucket list.👍👍
It is an amazing experience. Pictures and videos don't do it justice. It is alot of fun.
Thanks for the video. Missed it again this year. Hope to get there again ! Great Job Jon Boy !!
Thanks for watching Damon.
at first i thought you showing your mancave lol Awesome Show Bud
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 remember talking with you in July. Thanks for your support. I appreciate it.
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.
I went to that show yesterday, it was my first Time there. It was amazing and I walked away with a good hall too.
Awesome. Glad you were able to come and get some collectibles.
👍Always good to meet you and your beautiful family at the SOS. See you next year!😃
Great seeing you and Denise again. Time to count down to the 2023 show!
very, very cool....😄
Thanks. It is an awesome show.
GREAT USA AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 😇👍👏👏👏
Happy New Year! Thanks for watching.
Love this show man!!!!
It's great!
very cool. thanks for taking us to this sos
Thanks for watching. It is an amazing place to visit. I will be recording again in February.
Good man thanks
Thanks for watching
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 watching Victor. I appreciate it.
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
Thank you Mr. Larry. I will be making a video showing my finds. Jacklyn found some things for her collection on this trip as well.
@@JonBoyMilitaria well I'm happy she found items for her collection as well. Makes it more fun for the both of you
@@larryburwell8550 Exactly!
Thanks for sharing, especially to the ones who can´t attend due the distance and I am very, very far.
😕🤘
Thanks for watching
thanks a lot for the video bro 👍🏼
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Ww2 was not a only a history... It is a lesson to humanity... So let us respect the past and to all the casualties of ww2
Exactly
I’m to try make a effort to go next year, thanks for the tour.
I hope to meet you next year.
❤❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯💯💯
Thank you
Kỹ vật xưa thật tuyệt
Looks like a great event! Something I’d like to make it out to someday. A little bit of a trek for me right now though.
You really should man! You will love it!
wow! so much militaria goodness! especially al the ww1 stuff!
Lol
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
Thanks Joe. I try to pan the items on the tables as much as I can in between all the people walking/moving around.
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 👍👍..
That's cool man. Congrats.
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'll be heading over on a shopping sprea 2023. Catching up with my buddy, Don Schlickman, the nambu guy from Iowa. 🖐🇦🇺
That's awesome. I am already looking forward to the show next year as well. Thanks for watching.
@@JonBoyMilitaria legend mate, thanks for sharing 👍
Maybe we can meet up at the show. I enjoy meeting other collectors.
@@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.
Thanks for the info
@ 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!
Great info
Too bad I missed you this was my first show its absolutely amazing bought some cool stuff too
Hopefully we can meet up next 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.
I Hope I can go to it One Day !
You have to! You will be blown away!
Это настоящий музей военной истории, я впечатлен!
Thanks for watching
Amazing m8..wish I could go there ❤️
Come on over Andrew lol
@@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 really depends on a lot of things. Just an average Ww2 M1 with nothing special about it usually goes for $25-$50
@@JonBoyMilitaria wow.. that's so cheap. It's more than double in the uk
@@andrewfox6631 Dang
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.
I like to see all the stuff but i can't for the world understand why i would ever buy any of it. 😊
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.
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.
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
Exactly right
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.
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
I agree. There are so many fakes out there!
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?
Alot of guys sell/advertise on some of the Military Facebook groups.
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.
Definitely! I have been buying on ebay for about 16 years now.
26:10. If you see that man sitting down. Run away
Oh really?
Walters stand I saw a nice bag and shove sorry I don't know the names to them
The Show of Shows is awesome. Everything you can imagine is there.
whats the likley hood of finding m41 field jackets at the show??? didnt see any in this video
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.
If any of you went on Friday and saw a kid walking around with an A2 flight jacket that was me. It was a great show can’t wait for next year!
Glad you could make it
Man wish I could have gone
Come next year!
There’s so much stuff at the SOS it’s almost impossible to see everything.
Exactly! It is totally amazing.
This was my first SOS this year. Very cool. I got yelled at by a guy because I took a picture of his machine gun.
Some people don't like for their stuff to be recorded.
70% helmets🤣
There is a ton of everything else. Just have to be there to take it all in.
@@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
@@achterdeboerenbehalvepsvte8490 I have a little bit of Nazi stuff but I don't collect alot of it because it is highly faked.
Do you have any idea who the large women’s dealer was at around 24:00? Thanks!!
Hey, I'm sorry I don't know the lady's name. She sets up every year and always has women's stuff.
I would loved to have been there. Is this at the same place every year?
Same place. Louisville, Kentucky Exposition Center. It is enormous.
I heard Amanda from Epic Artifacts didn't hear Dave though I know Ryan was there.
Awesome
Do they have shows like this in N.C?
Nothing as big as the show of shows anywhere. But there are smaller shows all over the U.S.
M1 Helmet Depot.... Is their stuff just a display? Their website never has more than 1 helmet for sale
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.
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.
Thanks for watching. I would definitely be interested in the other channels.
@@JonBoyMilitaria This is the GREATEST WW2 History channel on TH-cam!! th-cam.com/video/pu9soeMx22Y/w-d-xo.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!!
WW2 History Hunter is the name.
@@JonBoyMilitaria @The Kinzlo Bros th-cam.com/video/aztD1PqH9oo/w-d-xo.html
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.
Have you ever seen a WW 1 tank Helmut at a show?
I am pretty sure that I have
Those donuts shown, were they originally dated?
They were reproduction
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😭😭😭😭😫😫😭😭eu quero ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching
Anybody who knows the dealer that has or had the Canadian flag at 15:48 please let me know.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching. Nice name. Lol. My name is Jonathan also.
Yoooo where the 1911s at????
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?
Does anyone actually buy anything.......or just look,like a museum?
Probably around 10,000 people come to the show every year. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent.
***WELCOME TO CIVIL WAR FROM MYANMAR ( BURMA )***
****FREEDOM IS"NT FREE LET'S SAVE BURMA****
THANKS !
Where are the guns??
There are quite a bit of guns. But alot of people don't really want them on video or pictures taken.
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.
From a 4-time divorced guy, this is one of the WORST places to take a wife. Just saying, and yes-all four made the trip. Sometimes even twice.....
Is that where M1 depot has all their helmets! Constantly have zero to sell on their site.
We’re seriously going to get on that SOON!
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.
I really love it my respect to ,them doing a great job!!,keep up the good work!!!!,🫢🔴🤫
