ABOUT THE SHOW
“Its the equivalent of visiting an elite military history museum and being able to purchase the artifacts.” Is how the promoters of the Greater New Orleans Militaria Show describe their event. It is NOT A GUN SHOW and does not allow the sale of modern firearms of any type. This policy is STRICTLY enforced. However, we DO allow the sale of firearms classified as Curios & Relics (More Than 50 Years Old) as well as those classified as Antiques (1898 & Prior) by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms. While not mandatory, we do ask that dealers try to limit these weapons to military in their origins as much as possible. We work closely with the BATF to insure that all laws and regulations are followed and we do invite them to attend every show. Also, we DO NOT allow the sale of reloaded ammunition, reloading equipment, black powder, smokeless powder or Pyrodex. We also DO NOT allow the sale of any modern ammunition that is not in its original packaging and ask that any modern ammunition offered for sale be of a caliber used by a nation’s military at some point in history. Unique, vintage and collectable ammunition that is not being sold for the purpose of firing in a weapon is allowed to not be in it’s original packaging. This policy is also STRICTLY enforced and failure to follow these guidelines can result in dealers being escorted from the show. We also DO NOT allow the sale of food items, T-shirts, jewelry, modern leather goods, political items, non military related antiques or any item that we deem not to be a military antique or collectable or that does not fit within the scope of the Greater New Orleans Militaria Show. If you have any questions related to this, visit the “Show Policy” section of this website, email us or call us at one of the numbers listed below. We are seeking to make the 2025 Greater New Orleans Militaria Show an exclusive event and are going to focus our concentration on bringing in new dealers with exquisite, unique and highly desirable, museum quality pieces. We will always be the show for every collector no matter how seasoned or how new to the hobby and will always include dealers that are buying and selling world class military antiques from around the globe. Keep in mind that many of our dealers offer FREE in show appraisals and authentications. If you are wishing to sell a single item or a lifelong collection, one of our dealers or auction companies will be more than happy to assist you. All you have to do is inform a member of our show staff at the door when you enter and we will make the introductions for you. Once again, the 5th Annual show will be located at the beautiful Castine Center in Mandeville, Louisiana on October 18th & 19th of 2025 and is brought to you exclusively by Old Patriot Militaria, LLC.
