Awesome video Kenneth (and t-shirt) ... Thanks for sharing , especially because I won´t have a chance to visit this kind of show so soon. Regards from Brazil.
Thank you for taking the time to video the Max show. You did great video of all the good stuff there I couldn’t make it this year I did go last year it’s a great show every year once again thanks a lot for taking the time.👍🏻
A great comprehensive video. Thanks for making it for those of us who will likey never see such a show. Best regards from a history buff and militaria fan from faraway Jamaica.
Great video! I came from Charlotte and went Saturday. Then went to the Gettysburg museum of History, highly recommended to anyone that goes the the Max show bc it’s only 45 minutes away from the show. Thanks again for posting!
What a great video, thank you so much for sharing, we don't have anything as good as this in the UK, I think one day I need to come over with Alex just so he can see all this lovely stuff.
I have been to a few SOS shows but never the MAX. Thank you Mr. Reese for an excellent video along with the play by play narration. Also thank you for your attention to uniforms and helmets which so few focus on.
Great video, Although alot of us like German Militaria ie Imperial & Third Reich. Their is a whole world full of interesting and historical military related items from many periods we could be posting on TH-cam. New name for the Max "Captured WWII Artifacts Show"
Thank you once again for such clear and interesting footage. I have been waiting keenly to see what you would put up and you do not disappoint. Cheers from the UK
Thanks for taking the time to show a lot of the interesting things at the MAX show. Prices are crazy I don't know how young people are going to get into the hobby with some of the high prices.
Yet another terrific video Kenneth, really good quality filming and narration.For us here in the UK who can't get there,this is just brilliant ! Thank you 👍
LIVE LONG TEAM JOYCE, BRIDGIANA AND MÌLANTE THEIR ALL OVER 100 PLZ PRAY THEY STAY STRONG AND HEALTHY AND RAISE IT IN A MEGA HALLELUJAH COMING FROM NORTHERN IRELAND 💯👑❤️🌍🙏🏻🙏🏿
@@kennethreese4659from where I’m at in Ohio it’s about a 5 - 5-1/2 hour drive. Not too bad I just looked it up and that’s about the same amount of time to the MAX Show! I’ll have to make a trip next time!
It’s ruined other areas of the hobby that I’d love to get some examples of, line medals. What I’ve done is specialize in a specific area and learn as much as possible and keep learning. Along the way you meet others who specialize in other areas so you can ask them questions or have them second look an item you’re interested in.
Great video and even better when I/we can make out the prices as well. The prices (particularly on WW2 German items) are often crazy today, and when compared to just 5-10 years ago. So many fakes and repro items, as already mentioned, even being sold by dealers who should know better. Question is: Are these high prices sustainable with far less younger generation interest? Demographic at shows (and I have been to many in the UK) is largely middle-aged to older men.
Kenneth, great stuff as always! Would love to interview you on my channel! Btw, at approximately 52:26 you show a WWII 3rd ID coat. Do you happen to know who that dealer is? Would like to get in contact.
I have never seen a show of this magnitude before... I'm totally dumbfounded ! All the history that has survived through many years. Where does it all come from ? I'd love to have some pieces to enhance my toy soldier collection. Truly amazing and thank you for bringing it to us ! 👍 p.s. Why are just some swastika items covered over ?
Mr. Reese or anybody familiar with/ I found 2 flags in my apt. dumpster one was an American flag, the other a Devil Dog while researching I see you can buy the Devil Dog on websights but they do not look at all like the one I found, the color for one and my flags were flown at a base I believe, they were weather beaten not bad but I figure the person who got to take these flags home must of either been a officer, or Rambo. Have no clue why they were in the trash since this marine unit made the Nazi's literally cry for there mommas. I found an old timer and passed the flags on to him bout 3 years ago. Never thought about them till I saw your channel. Nice work
My dude, you should change your name to "Mr. Obvious." The whole way through this... "Got a whole bunch of rifles here... Got a real nice German tunic here..." Hahaha!!!!! I'm so glad you told us, we'd have never known!
@@kennethreese4659 They had to set rules that we can’t display the busts, swazs on flags couldn’t be fully displayed, as well as ones on displayed tunic armbands. Blows my mind bc it’s a show fully around history.
Bunch of killjoys, if you’re offended by history then you’re in the wrong hobby. I think some people aren’t happy unless they find something to be offended by.
I sure saw a lot of suspect SS memorabilia in the video. Its terrible how much reproductions have infiltrated our hobby. I stopped collecting SS items and sold the stuff I had and now Im just focusing on Luftwaffe and Heer memorabilia but I only buy from people I know and a forum that I belong to where all items that are sold are thoroughly vetted by the members and everyone knows each others information as far as identity so no fakes or repros get in.
@@kennethreese4659Reproductions seem to be increasing every year and it is ruining the hobby. It also keeps new collectors from wanting to enter the hobby just out of the fear of not knowing or getting bad info. It’s a shame it’s gotten so bad over the years.
I’ve stopped going to these. It’s either way too overpriced or fake. Like someone else said they’re getting better and better at faking that it’s a crap shoot. Even so called experts can’t even tell the difference in some items. The Eastern Europeans are getting so good at it. It’s a shame. You’d be better off with US items than German.
Do you know how long it would take him if he paused for a long time at every item/table? He moved well and everything was clear. You can always pause the video if something catches your eye. Be thankful he’s taking the time to show people what was there.
It's something that started years ago because people got offended by the bad german symbol so they had all dealers hide the bad symbols. Some dealers still do it and some don't. It depends on the show.
That is BS. The type of show means you will see then. If people get Offended they can just not go. We live in the United States not Germany. I can understand if we lived in Germany were it's illegal to post any of Nazi symbols.
Kenneth Reese thanks for great video. Regards from Europe.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video, Thank you for sharing.
Thank you.
That show had everything you could hope to see. Thanks for the video.
Yes, thanks for watching.

Great job! Thanks for the first table spot!
Yes sir, loved your Generals sword. Just to let you know Whittman had one at his table for sale 25K.
Well three things, 1 mine is better, 2 mine has the original bag, 3 i don’t really want to sell mine lol.
@@smgwarrelics I would keep that one too. I'm sure they are pretty rare nowadays.

Thank you. I agree with you about the Gettysburg museum of history. A great place. I did some videos there.
Went to that show as a youngster with my parents. Great memories. Thanks for returning me to my childhood.
Thanks for watching.

I’m pretty sure the DAK Obergefreiter tunic also had a Krim (Crimea) Shield. Very Cool!

I’ve still never gotten to that show yet. Usually do Wilmington and always Louisville tho! Looking forward to February already!
I'd like to do the SOS but too far away for me.

Hei ! Thank you for the good video on TH-cam. We are waiting for more !!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Lots of repros showing up at those shows nowadays. It's sometimes difficult to tell the originals from the fakes anymore.
They are everywhere now. Repros are getting very hard to tell now.
It’s ruined other areas of the hobby that I’d love to get some examples of, line medals. What I’ve done is specialize in a specific area and learn as much as possible and keep learning. Along the way you meet others who specialize in other areas so you can ask them questions or have them second look an item you’re interested in.
STHU
I do understand the reproductions, Because there are some people who can't afford the real thing at the present, But are interested in the hobby.
Reproductions are fine. The problem is when a dealer knowingly or unknowingly passes a repro off as a genuine original. @@jerseystacker6515
Boy that generals sword is beautiful. Never seen one.
Yes it was very nice. I seen 2 of them there.
Parabéns.
Just wanted to drop u a line. Never watched u before.
You do a real nice job with your vids. Well done!
Thank you. Appreciate it.
That panzer track is 4x retail.
Beautiful Luftwaffe sword.
Yes, very nice indeed.
I couldn’t imagine what that guy would have wanted for that FJ helmet
They go for a fortune in today's market.
Wow I did na ze this coming!

Thank you. The 3rd ID jacket you asked about I didn't get the sellers information on that one sorry.
Thanks for sharing the video,but the American marketing is too expensive,in Europe the proceso are more affordable

Haha just a habit I need to break.
As a collector of ww1 and ww2 items, I appreciate you not showing this great exhibition of military items, greetings from Chile
I don’t understand why the would cut that great coat up like that😮 Send it back or anything else. That was a shock seeing that.
Yes it was sickening. Some people get offended on history.
16:27 who’s this dealer please? Interested in the Officers Cap to the General Staff.
I believe that was www.hermann-historical.com
that huge yeelow flag with the lion is a flemish/belgian flag
Thank you.
Why would someone go to a militaria show only to be offended by a bust of Hitler ? Some strange ppl out there!
I wonder that myself but many people complained about it and that's the way it is now at the large shows.

Nobody seems to be actually buying anything

Even so called experts can’t even tell the difference in some items. The Eastern Europeans are getting so good at it. It’s a shame. You’d be better off with US items than German.
Your right. I mostly go just to look and do a show video. If I see something I really like I'll get it depending on price.
Stop saying really nice you broken record. Well over 100 times..damn
Nice try but very poor videos you move too fast and are not focused enough.
Do you know how long it would take him if he paused for a long time at every item/table? He moved well and everything was clear. You can always pause the video if something catches your eye. Be thankful he’s taking the time to show people what was there.
I thought he did a great job!
You said they have to hide the Nazi symbol on the uniform at the show. Why is it a law or something? Just asking because I do not know
It's something that started years ago because people got offended by the bad german symbol so they had all dealers hide the bad symbols. Some dealers still do it and some don't. It depends on the show.
