It's time for another great militaria show! 
PHOENIX ANTIQUE GUN & MILITARIA SHOW – May 17th, 2025

The Phoenix Militaria show will be held at the Phoenix Shrine Auditorium, 552 North 40th Street in Phoenix.  Doors will open on Saturday the 17th at 9am and the show will run until 3pm that day.  The show will be in 1 room with more tables and vendors. The new hall will be full of medals, pins, uniforms, helmets, gear, swords, books, knives, etc., and maybe just a few pre-1898 weapons.  If you're coming in from out of town, the hotel near the show will be Hilton Garden Inn Phoenix Airport North. It will be a great show as usual.
Don't miss it!
