BUILDING A FIVE STAR MILITARIA SHOW
The fourth annual Greater New Orleans Militaria Show will be a 250+ table event featuring dealers from more than TWENTY states! Our dealers will not only be buying and selling world class military antiques from around the globe, but will also be offering FREE in show appraisals and authentications. If you are wishing to sell a single item or a lifelong collection, one of our dealers or auction companies will be more than happy to assist you. All you have to do is inform a member of our show staff at the door when you enter and we will make the introductions for you. The show will be located at the beautiful Castine Center in Mandeville, Louisiana on October 12th & 13th of 2024 and is now brought to you exclusively by Old Patriot Militaria, LLC. We plan to make our fourth annual show the largest and most ambitious event to date. We are capable of expanding the show to nearly 400 tables, so we are going to “shoot for the moon” and do our best to get to that number. Our show has already hosted some of the most well known as well as most respected names in our hobby and even more are joining us in 2024. The focus of our fourth annual Greater New Orleans Militaria Show is simple . . . EXPANSION! We will expand our philanthropic outreach with the Saint Tammany Parish Department of Animal Services in order to increase awareness as well as provide more financial and material assistance. We will continue to expand the amount of dealer tables and involvement of local history based entities. All the while continuing to establish this show as a five-star history education centered event. This show will continue to revolve around buying, selling and displaying of artifacts while adding further emphasis on the conservation and preservation of military antiques.
We are building on our past to better our future. Our 2023 show saw more than 220 tables filled with dealers from 20 states as well as over 1,000 members of the visiting public entering the event! This is a 33% increase over the amount of visitors in 2022 and 55% increase in the amount of visitors that attended our first show in 2021. With such steady and significant increases, it appears that the Greater New Orleans Militaria Show is now on the road to becoming a “destination show” for dealers and collectors from across the country. Our ultimate goal is to develop the Greater New Orleans Militaria Show into a significant event that rivals the “MAX” Show and is worthy of both national and international attention.
MOVING OUR HOBBY FORWARD – A NEW APPROACH
The Greater New Orleans Militaria Show, our dealers and our partners are dedicated to the education, preservation and heartfelt appreciation of historic military artifacts. The goal of our show is to create an entirely new avenue and approach to to the collecting world by which all members of our community can connect. From the most seasoned of veterans with expansive collections to the young person buying their first piece, our show is the place for all to come together. We accomplish our goals by encouraging the sharing of knowledge as well as actively promoting the display, exhibition, conservation, preservation and collecting of historic military artifacts. Many of our dealers as well as partners are among the most trusted and recognized entities in the world of military antiques and collectables today. This unquestionable knowledge, experience, outreach and passion for our hobby is seemingly limitless and has led to a number of our dealers expanding into the world of print and broadcast media. We host dealers that are not only consistently published in journals and other periodicals but who have also authored tremendous reference works. Many of which have become staples in our collecting community. You will not only find the names of our dealers on book shelves buy also in the credits of such television programs as Antiques Road Show, Pawn Stars and American Pickers!
