There are 6 militaria shows held in the Toronto area each year. Here are some pics of the June 1st 2019 Show which I attended this past weekend:
A pleasant surprise, I ran into Peter S. and his wife Enid who had come across the border from the US to do some shopping.
I bought the M95 Prussian shown in this picture. I always buy them if they are complete and the price is right.
Some "cutlery" for sale.
The Garde helme had LG markings in the front of the shell. The Oldenberg Dragoner had the old style liner with square fingers....$2,300 CN.
The same dealer had this....display only, not for sale.
The M15 Arty had a repro liner in it and all the fittings seemed repainted. I bought the M95 Prussian because the price was right and the helmet, at least a size 58cm is in very good condition. Kokarden and chin strap, repros, one finger of liner shows evidence of "Mickey Mouse" having a meal, still a nice helmet.
The Show is held in Etobicoke a suburb of TO in a recreational centre gymnasium......miniscule compared to the SOS!
A decent Landwehr shako with complete liner....$700CN
This dealer collected and sold only WW2 German militaria. I shot one photo before he told me not to take any more.
I also bought a couple of Brit WW1 Tanks and a WW2 German drinking cup.
Obviously not helmet related but I had never seen these before....still WW1 though.
I had a good time, and I did score some deals but....How long till SOS 2020????
