Doug,
There are quite a few kids - I mean under 14 or so - who collect this stuff. I attend all 7 shows in Raleigh and the same ones show up with their fathers show after show. They buy German tinnies and even more US and allied stuff. One is trying to get all the WWII US Army enlisted collar brass and USN trade patches. His brother is going for the ribbons for WWII campaign medals. They look in awe at the daggers and ask good questions.
15-25 ? They are probably into cars, girls, school, girls, summer break, girls, etc
There are a few, but not many.
You seldom see the younger people at the big shows because those often mean a motel, long trip, etc. That applies to a lot of people under forty as well. Money is tight, and so is vacation time so getting to the big shows is tough.
