A member was kind enough to send a few show photos and give a ring report..

Well he said the crowds were decent but down from last year. He felt the MAX was better... Here a few crowd shots:

He mentioned he saw a few Honor rings,,weren't sure if they were good or not. He did say that a couple had sold by the end of the show... He mentioned there was no SS rings there and very few if any authentic nazi PP rings there!. What he did see was a lot of Allied rings for sale. That they were selling.. When what you really want isn't available,,,you'll buy anything sometimes!.. But if Allied rings were your thing they were there. Don't see any US enamel rings which are bringing in big prices..

Save up and have the patience and if you want a nazi ring you'll have the money for it,,,thats my opinion anyway..

Well, next big show is the MAX. I'll be there,, and IF there is something good there I'll get it,,or if have it already I'll get the photos.. Much thanks to the member who took the time to send the photos!!
