I will sell to those strong enough in capital and who appreciate the historical value of said objects, though Stinschen is my heir and I aspire that she become the truth sayer of foetid woolens. And she is a European.

I am certainly not strong enough in capital but I can certainly appreciate the historical value of your foetid woolens. Can love buy a black SS tunic?

Seriously though, you ought to go to these shows.

Super photos gentlemen. Eric, could you please have your lovely wife explain the fun of collecting to my wife. You obviously have better communication skills than I.

The SOS is moving to a larger hall in the convention center next year. It will accomidate several hundred more tables. Most of the buyers seemed to be Europeans. Fellow moderator and helmet collector Doug Buehler hosted a party in his suite on Thursday evening. It was a pleasure to meet Eric. It was an overall excellent show, which is typical for the SOS.

Hi Bob, it was a pleasure to see you at the helmet party, and the 2 helmets you brought were top drawer items and I know the collectors loved the field made chicken wire. Sorry I didn't make it up to see the overcoat. I was doing ADM (magnification) demonstrations in my suite Friday afternoon and was too hung over Saturday to do anything more meaningful than breathing and it was a struggle putting one foot in front of the other. I do hope to view it one day.

SOS was a great show for the sharing of these otherworldly goods and the cocktails and camaraderie. I came home with 10 top shelf helmets. The courier cannot come fast enough. :-)

Cheers
Doug

Good lord! most of us would like even one top shelf helmet and you snap up 10 just like that? Greed is a wonderful thing is it not?

Or it is jealousy? I'm jealous thats for sure. Now envy is a mortal sin and I don't know if coveting thy neighbor's helmet is mentioned in the good book so i'm probably not going to hell for that sin in particular...maybe a few others but not THAT one!

My friend from Russia told me that he spent to US economical system approx 160 k this time in SOS

The American economy and dollar are week which presents an opportunity for sales to dealers from outside the USA. I noticed a lot of Russians buying at the show. Next year the show will be in the first weekend of March with approximately 400 more tables available!
