    I've noticed that there's quite a few fellow Texans on here.
    If any would like to share some good locations to look for US WWII militaria, I would appreciate it. Pretty new to this, but I'm finding a few places on my own.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi Troy, I used to see loads of GI stuff at the Corpus Christi gunshows. There were at least two different folks who put them on-one was Les Shook, but he sold out a few years ago so all thats left is the guy from Three Rivers-who gets good dealers in but, the guy is a prick.

    There is another show that is held at the Shriners building off the interstate-the part that runs near the Refineries like: Valero, BP, etc.

    San Anotnio is another great place to go and they have shows I heard-every weekend-same goes for Houston.

    I've bought a few items at Gun Shows in San Antonio (that's where we're living now) but they hardly have any items. Think I need to come down and check out one in Corpus as it's way better to go to than Houston.

    Thanks

    Hi Troy, the Houston show is the better ones to go to as far as Militaria goes. I went to one there about 7 years ago and was blown away with what they have to offer.

    Not sure when the next Three Rivers show is held but, he usually has about 6 in Corpus a year. Ill see if I can find out somewhere and when I do, ill let you know.

    Take care--C.

    Guess I might just bite the bullet and go check out Houston as well.
