Haubians: On behalf of the OVMS, I want to sincerely thank you all for your support of the Show-of-Shows. Even those who did not attend have been helpful by sharing the facebook event, making supportive comments, and just generally adding to the excitement and positive momentum of the event...

Hola Haubians: Just got off the phone with the Crowne Plaza, and have confirmed that yes, there are still a few rooms left in the OVMS block for next Show-of-Shows. However, they informed me that the $120 rate is for standard rooms, and most of those are taken. There are a few left, but many...

Online Ron - http://www.advanceguardmilitaria.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Working away on our 'November 2017' catalog, which should open some time in mid to late January 2018; just in time to mess up SOS for Gus. ;) Should be a decent sale for WWI items; several...

Thank you James!

Hello Haubians: Working on cataloging items for our upcoming sale, and I would love to get a second opinion on this one. I believe it is Bavarian Gendarmerie. Spike is smooth rather than fluted, has Lion head chinscale bosses, single Reichs cockade on the left side, convex chin scales, and...

I have owned dozens of these over the years, but now that I actually need one; there are none hanging around the office. Looking for a nice condition US M1917 helmet pierced with the holes on the side for mounting an eye shield, good helmet and liner, intact chinstrap even better, and...

OK, I give up and admit defeat. I have beaten my head against the wall long enough, and am seeking guidance from my betters. Does anyone here recognize this pattern mess kit? The name is a clue to an extent, but of course we have seen German names on Russian mess kits, French names on British...

Thanks to all of our Pickelhaubes.com friends who attended - it wouldn't be SOS without you! I did not get nearly as much opportunity to shop as I would have liked, doing AGM and OVMS stuff.. mostly the latter, so looking through photos posted on the forums and those taken by our official...

Guys - send me a list of tableholders that wish to be united under one Brigade, and I will submit it to Greg as a personal request. He is very receptive to this idea already - he knows full well that there are groups of friends that like to be together for mutual security, fellowship, etc...

Peter is correct. Moving a show is rarely good for it, though often the promoter has no choice in the matter. Finding a good hall these days is actually quite an endeavor. The EXPO MART does have some real advantages. It is easy to get to, the hotel situation is excellent, and there are...

Latest updates will be on the OVMS Facebook page.. and the OVMS webpage once I find the super-secret place I stashed my access codes for making modifications there. No move is planned for the next 3 years, and after that, it depends on many factors that cannot be predicted at this time. Peter...

Guys, we have struck a deal with Regimentals, and will be selling these in the US. A pallet or two of books is on the water now, so we should have them within a month or so. Will keep you updated. Jeff Shrader

Many thanks to all of the Pickelhaubes.com folks from your friends at the OVMS! The fact that you all make this an event within an event is just fantastic. Just wait until we release our SOS promo video. Chris A. recognized the Hollywood star power in Mr. Gus!! We really do appreciate the...

More SoS info: If you are a table holder who is NOT a part of the Wednesday morning set-up crew, this may save you some time and frustration. You can pick up your dealer packets starting around 1:00 pm. HOWEVER - you will not be able to enter the hall until 5:00 pm. This means that you will...

Note - VERY IMPORTANT CHANGES for Wednesday set-up and Dealer load-in at the Show-of-Shows. Posted here for Bill Combs, OVMS President. If you have any questions, please feel free to post them here. Others may be wondering the same thing, so answers to your questions may help more than one...

This was the Show-of-Shows cover from 2010

I almost forgot, among the stories from the show is a good one that came in at the last moment on Sunday. A fellow found a wallet containing over $2,000 in cash, marched it up to the front admin area and turned it in without so much as a second thought. Nice to know that such people still exist!

It was great to see many of you at the show! Didn't have a chance to visit as much as I would have liked; too busy buying up fun stuff for the next catalog. Lots of folks fell ill. I thought about it every time I shook someone's hand, and was careful not to touch eyes or mouth until I made a...
