My pleasure!

Great, thanks for having us. Greeting from Germany

@charlayned Год назад

As I'm watching this, I'm missing my late brother. He was into collecting artifacts and we did a lot of gun shows over the years. He would have loved this show, we would probably hit the place at open and close it down and it would be a big history lesson. My husband would also love it, we were watching it and he got really excited that Eric got Patton's boots, he's a huge fan of the old General. Thanks for the video and great goodies bought.

@j1st633 Год назад

Wow! One of your best. If you can show more.

@kennethtaylor8822 Год назад

@calicurtis2388 Год назад

Fantastic video! That bring back grouping lot you picked up is a total score! Superb box lot!

@drackx Год назад

Great video with Eric Dorr, JD! 👍🏻🔟 Forrest Guth seems to be the most important factor who brings us together all the time. What a tribute to him and what a great find from the Dead Man's Corner Museum! The signed parachute is a perfect addition for the magnificent Gettysburg Museum of History and the spectacular Easy Company collection! 🤩🎖🏅🥇

@TheHistoryUnderground Год назад

Yes. Guth really did us all a great service with all of the things that he collected and brought back after the war.

@bengello Год назад

@TheHistoryUnderground Год назад

@RealismAndHonor Год назад

Sold bill Shea a 1938-1940 1st SS great coat a few years back. 6 oclock at night and he gave me a personalized tour of what he had at the time. Unbelievable collection and Unbelievablly kind and knowledgable man. He had Dick Winters 42 jump jacket he jumped into Normandy with at the time and my jaw dropped. Man I love this community

@terryeustice5399 Год назад

Thanks JD for the tour up in Louisville. The show of shows. Looked really very informative and interesting. Thanks for sharing. All this including the Fed Ex box. With parachute signed. ❤️💯

@TheHistoryUnderground Год назад

Pretty cool weekend :)

@dawndickson2156 Год назад

Fantastic video!!! The keepsake box you purchased is fantastic! Milton Pennsylvania is just thirty miles south of where I live. So humbling to have such items to true collectors.

@michaelbruce6190 Год назад

I would be like a kid in a candy store if I went to the Show of Shows..... absolutely amazing! Your videos just keep getting better and better 👍🏻

@sportcardcollector9599 Год назад

Great video guys love the pick-ups especially general George Patton's boots 🥾 thanks for sharing 👍

@TheHistoryUnderground Год назад

Thanks!

@MrMenefrego1 Год назад

You do an outstanding, aboveboard job of showing respect to Allies and Axis alike; much appreciated; My father and two of his brothers fought for the American side, and two brothers fought for Germany. While my mother's father and brothers fought for Fascist Italy. After all, all men deserve admiration and respect when they honor and defend their heartfelt beliefs.

@debrasams2362 Год назад

Cool video! So interesting.

@janetcarey6954 Год назад

What an incredible event to experience with all the history to view!

@richardturk7162 Год назад

I love going to those shows. You always learn something new.

@larryburwell8550 Год назад

Well JD glad you found some nice items for your collection and showed great video from the show. Great interviews as well. Thanks for posting. Look forward to your next video. I've collected ww2 militaria for 45 years. Both US and German helmets and head gear.

@dnldcow Год назад

The aging of the item's you bought to me show's the authenticity of the Item's , my father in law was a medic in the south pacific and his medics bag and 2 Japanese Rifles he sent home on a gun rack he made , the medic's bag had turned dark brown from the moisture he told of the jungle. I am putting this show on my Bucket list.

@2gnospam Год назад

Awesome video!

@baronedipiemonte3990 Год назад

Thanks for "taking us along" who don't have the opportunity to actually go. I think the technical name for the Guth 'chute is "drogue"... at least that's the term for braking chutes on aircraft when landing

@Liz-cmc313 Год назад

Amazing stuff , thanks JD for showing us around.

@keithsifford5326 Год назад

Very cool!

@pauldouglas3084 Год назад

Really enjoyed the video mate can't wait for the next one

@CrescentCottageHomestead Год назад

Thank you for this wonderful video JD! That's the coolest place! We would love to be here! My son collects WW2 artifacts. He has all my Dads navy stuff. My Dad was at Pearl harbor when it got attacked. He lost alot of mates. He didn't talk much about it. He definitely got PTSD from his years in the Navy.

@franzgeil422 Год назад

Nice haul for both of you!

@TheHistoryUnderground Год назад

Yeah, not a bad day :)

@peterherman3867 Год назад

Awesome pickups, JD! That box is super Interesting. Milton PA is right score the river from where I live.

@Ronaldl2350 Год назад

Wow. That's pretty amazing the stuff they have there. It reminds me of my uncle who was a Navy Seabee on Okinawa in WW2. His family gave me complete sets of his Navy uniforms a few years ago. He told me some amazing stories Getting Patton's boots is pretty amazing! Thanks for sharing JD.

@TheHistoryUnderground Год назад

So cool that you have those uniforms and the stories to go with them.

@johnstup4479 Год назад

Thanks JD for giving us a small glimpse into the world of military collector shows. I see there's a MAX show in September at the York Expo Center. I will have to try and get to that show. On another note, I visited the Gettysburg Museum of History today and that was pretty darn neat. Thanks for the heads up on that place JD. Eric has one cool museum.

@TheHistoryUnderground Год назад

Glad that you enjoyed it!

@1psychofan Год назад

The very fact that you waited to open that impresses me!

@TheHistoryUnderground Год назад

Ha!

@greggriffin1 Год назад

Always a great and very informative vid, thank you

@johnpeters5842 Год назад

Very nice video of the 2023 SOS! It was especially cool to see the gold train eagle that I purchased from the museum!! Its interesting as I asked several people to find a train eagle for me at the show but it looks like Eric cornered the market! At least I know that the sale will contribute to future purchases for the museum! Thanks JD and Eric.

@lesliewoinarowicz7018 Год назад

Thanks for another great learning experience as I learn history vicariously through you.

@reloadncharge9907 Год назад

Ya ever think of selling some stuff to us to fund your channel? Just saying….

@joannamcpeak7531 Год назад

True story. I found a very unique bowl made of iron in an antique shop. Paid 8 dollars for it. Turns out, that it was a battle helmet from Red China circa WWI. My brother now has it.

@khelmikyahvyer6000 Год назад

@timpennington6048 Год назад

JD you were 10 mins from me I would've loved to have met you. Big fan in Louisville KY!

@fredricjulien8738 Год назад

Patton's Boots! Wow! Surprised that there were no spurs on them.

@TheHistoryUnderground Год назад

Pretty cool artifact.

Good morning!

Outstanding job everyone

@Grossman2868 Год назад

Wow!! How many others felt their eyes bulging out just looking at the artifacts at this show?!

@sherrilee230 Год назад

Very interesting to see. Saw some of the patches on the uniforms. Maybe some day when you go back to Kentucky you can do a video on Gen Hallock and his burial there thank you for sharing

@dbhllproductions6544 Год назад

Great finds! You should do a video on your collection

@bearflagmercantile8113 Год назад

I've always wanted to go to the show of shows. I have a good sized German military collection. Not as many arm bands as I would like. I like the salty look as well, but I always try to find a clean example when possible. Thanks for showing me what I miss at SOS. 😅😊

@katiemyers4174 Год назад

Dang! Eric looked like a kid showing off his trick or treating stash! I would probably look for books if I were ever to go.

@bmcg5296 Год назад

Wow J.D, the items that Erik has bought are crazy, even finding them on the open market today is a surprise. Fantastic items including the large eagle and the little hat that goes right back to the early rise of Hitler must be like diamonds in history circles? Never see you as quiet when around Erik when he starts talking. He is just mesmerising when talking about the stories and history of these items, he just silences you also J.D I’ve noticed more and more of the videos you both do together. 😂

@malcolmherbert5779 Год назад

Love the videos you guys produce ,Thanks JD and Eric, would love to come over and see one of these militaria shows, sadly we are starved of this type of thing down here in Australia, So I will continue living my life through you two guys, Keep up the great work, CHEERS.

@TheHistoryUnderground Год назад

Thanks! I'm sure that we'll be back next year.

@gears101 Год назад

General Patton's boots. Wow what a great addition to the museum. Someday when I have the extra cash I would like to find an artifact from the 92nd division Ohio voluntary infantry from the Civil War. My 3rd Great Grandfather and died in Kentucky January, 1864.

@jimshoe402 Год назад

Ur right I threw good stuff out not good.

@dstaugustinefl8832 Год назад

JD & Eric thanks so much for all these video's. My husband was impressed with my new found knowledge on Hitler. Never thought I would be so interested, but the way you two present is awesome. Thanks. I can't wait go back up to Gettysburg and maybe meet Eric.

@gerrysmail8891 Год назад

J.D. Thank you again for helping us all see a little of a bucket list item! Have always wanted to go to the Show of shows. I also love the "saltier" items as well! Please do a video unboxing your awesome box of goodies!! Godspeed!

@duanebuck193 Год назад

Seeing all of the items at the collector show, plus all the stuff that Erik has makes me feel even better about a scrapbook that I just sent to the Museum from the Occupation of Germany period (my dad was drafted and served over there for his term). Hopefully they will add to the knowledge and history!

@flouisbailey Год назад

When I was younger I walked every isle and table at a SOS I was almost too tired to drive the 70 miles back to Lexington. It is overwhelming what they have, a must for collectors.

I’m always am interested and enjoy seeing all the Third Reich stuff our soldiers have brought back home. Keep up the good work Gents.

NO WAY! The 1918 rifle! WOW!

@TheHistoryUnderground Год назад

Yeah, pretty cool.

@thinghammer Год назад

You guys have made me realize that I need to spend an entire year visiting these museums and shows that you frequently feature. Erik has a passing resemblance to Johnny Depp (Erik is better looking). And Patton's boots remind me of Beatle boots. Great video.

@flouisbailey Год назад

Don’t tell Patton! He would likely give you the spur treatment.

@thinghammer Год назад

@@flouisbailey you're right! I don't think many of those guys would have been thrilled about the Beatles.

@fredboye4565 Год назад

Great Video as always! I’m originally from Hightstown, N.J. So it was great to see a true piece of history branded with ‘Hightstown’ on it.

@Wreckdiver59 Год назад

I always get excited when I see my Division insignia shown. The first WWII steel pot that you showed was 7th I.D. (Red circle with the Black hourglass). I was assigned to the division in the early 90’s at Ft. Ord, Ca.
