Once again, Manion’s International Auction House is bringing their one of a kind auction services to the West Coast Historical Military Collector’s Show in Pomona, California, on May 5th. Manion’s conducts live auctions each year at select militaria shows across the country. This year, in Pomona, they’re teaming up with Ken Porter Auctions to bring more items to the auction block.

“We’re looking forward to having both of these auction companies at the show,” said event organizer Bob Chatt. “Their presence adds an extra element that makes this show even bigger and better.”

The auction will feature quality militaria and collectibles, including items from the estate of noted California police badge collector James McDonald. Auction items will include excellent British military medals and orders, numerous U.S. and foreign police badges, as well as assorted military related items from many different time periods and countries.

“This is an excellent opportunity for both the beginner and avid collector,” said Chatt. “Items will be available in a variety of price ranges, and will cater to many different aspects of military collecting.”

In addition to the live auction, the West Coast Historical Military Collector’s show will feature hundreds of exhibitor tables with militaria items for sale from over 100 dealers from across the country.

“We enjoy attending this West Coast event,” said company representative John Conway. “We appreciate the opportunity to introduce our auction services to new customers and touch base with our old ones as well.”

Manion’s International Auction House has been brokering the sale of militaria and collectibles since 1970. Through their pioneering Internet auction website, hundreds of consigned items are listed daily, with auctions closing every evening at 8:30 P.M. CST.
