Every Thursday we compile a list of the upcoming militaria shows worldwide. Another reasonably busy weekend this weekend (14/10/22) although mainly in the US with 5 events, and the UK with 4 events. But there is also one in Canada one in Australia. So as always, get out and support your local show if there’s one near you this weekend. There is nothing better than handling militaria in person and shows are the best place to do this.
