Iola Military Show

[Mark Baker]

Hope to be making the 5 hour drive to the Iola Wisconsin military show, as I will get to see some of the collectors and re-enactors that may be interested in my work, and also might pick up some restoration work.

I will also be looking for some U.S. Army WWI gear and stuff for my collection.

Anyone else going to be there? Never been there, and hear it is a good show.

It is in my "back yard", so about time I go there.

I'll be there... I started going about 4 years ago and wouldn't miss it. I live about 35 min away so it's an easy decision. Always find something interesting there... but if you are looking for nice original military firearms there isn't usually much. There is a class 3 dealer that usually has quite a few WW2 MG's and SMG's. The focus of the show is military vehicles so parts and uniform items are the most plentiful. I don't recall seeing any WW1 gear there in the past but there is much to look at.

I'll be bringing 1/2 dozen of my Replica US combat shotguns, WWI model 12,
Stevens WWII, thru 2 Stevens models of Vietnam era.

Also bringing my Model 10A and some others in my collection. Trying to drum up some replica business, and restoration jobs.
