SOS 2018 photos (Kentucky).

[Rossi]

Nice photos Kirk. I see David is in his 'zone'.

From what you have written...I wouldn't be surprised if you had the Dirty Dancing "I had the time of my life" song playing in the background!

Actually Inglorious Bastards was just starting on the TV so opening music was playing. It was more like a scene from the Godfather. "This is the Militaria we have chosen"

Absolutely loving these photos! And x19 helmets on the bed I see, including x2 high quality SS and some very clean nat. shield decals.
Did David get a transitional? Possibly the one with the mint nat. shield or the one with the Hungarian shield?

Would love to be there with a big fat wedge of cash to spend...

Rossi - any new blades for you?

No new blades. Had my sights on some bahnschutz hangers for my Dagger but the pair I saw here were likely repros upon close review. Was close on an NSKK Dagger but passed.

Excellent haul guys. How are the prices at the SOS on helmets?? I don't mean exact prices but what % as compared to ruptured duck or lakeside trader website? Are the dealers with the nice items willing to negotiate, or are they pretty steadfast on their prices? Looking forward to next year at the SOS and trying to get a feel.

Thanks,
Nick

Kirk,
Thanks for the pictures
Someday I hope to make it to the SOS and the Max. I would love to see some
of these high end pieces in person plus I would like to meet the forum members
who for years now are friends but still just names on a screen.

Awesome stuff! I wish one of these shows would come down here to Texas!

SOS Show was worth the trip for me. Other than weather delays getting home here it will have been a pleasure meeting Stonemint and RealSteel. It was with regret I was unable to meet Mr. Bob Coleman who was unable to attend. He and these fellas were my main purpose to attend. At days end our collections are fun to hunt and build. It is a cool bunch here on WRF and my hope and goal would be to return in 2019 to a host of guys who can connect further from the WRF. As we age the face to face is important. When our collections pass forward I would hope this connected community can be a source of help and wisdom to each other.

David and I below. My very small haul and filtered pickings for the week. A nice cased collections of minis that had me tempted a little but I passed. Nothing earth shaking this week acquired but sure fun to hunt, observe, see whats out there in the market & to fill gaps around other collection groupings. Be well guys and hope the weekend is going well for you!

Thanks for the Bildbericht. Too bad you could not see Bob Coleman. Happy collecting to one and all.
