Any collectors meetings in South America?

Hi Guys,
My Russian friend ask me about the militaria fairs in South America like Uruguay, Argentina, Brasil etc...
Your help would be appreciated.
Cheers,

Here, here!!
Im from Uruguay.
As far as im concerned, we dont have any militaria fairs here. There arent many items for sale, and if there are, they are mostly fakes or originals but VERY overpriced.
I know a couple of shops that sell antiques that do have some items, but as said, very expensive stuff and not so many things available.
Is he looking for any specific militaria items?
Although no fairs, he can still check out the Graf Spee things we have here.
There is also a huge flea market on sudays, in the street "Tristán Narvaja", in Downtown, that has lots of antiques. Thats where the shops ive mentioned are. You can also find things in the streets, but chances are, they are also fakes. The last time i went there, i saw some TR medals, but didnt have a clue whether they were good or bad. At least, a big red flag i saw on the EKII was that it had a ribbon with the actual colours of the german flag.
Let me know if he has any other questions, i'll gladly help.

Ha, well, in that case, i have no clue.
Argentina and Brazil must have lots of things of their old military items. We dont have much nor have seen for sale, especially edged weapons.
