Brilliant video as per. Mr Wittmann is a living legend. One of the reasons I’m attending the SOS next year travelling all the way from London. I hope I have the privilege to meet him!
I really cant express enough how therapeutic watching your videos are to me I am 39 yrs. old and suffer from ptsd. and you are the only thing I can watch that brings my anxiety down and makes me feel normal everything else is too intense and people's motives are selfish and come across as desperate for the likes and thumbs up and you whom has CLASS never even mentions or asks for it and boy ol boy is that refreshing to see! God Bless you sir and all that you do.
Rediscovered the channel after a few months, so nice to have so many films to catch up on! Thanks for your freindly expertise, and the great camera work : )
Don’t change a thing Tom. Your stories and the openings are what we tune in for. It’s got a great homey feeling to it. Love your videos and look forward to each one. Never change 👍
Hello :) I love watching your program on youtube! I am from Poland, but I live in Norway and due to the second story, I am interested in everything German from World War II. Best regards, Mr. Wittmann! Leszek S. Pettke
Vielen Dank Mr. Wittmann, i love your videos ... i'm collecting Militaria items too, but in a much smaller way... i collect original and repro items of the first and second world war, many medals, mostly helmets, the original ones are often unfortunately only finds in the ground, you find them mostly on ebay in auctions, which certainly are already a bit rusty... 🙄...but wtf...
Im a sword guy so this one was right up my alley. Though the Germans called the straight ones "Degen"/Sword & the curved ones "Säbel"/Sabre. There is a difference in western sword terminology.
Massive WWII history buff here. I also enjoy collecting historical items from the war. How do I known reputable sellers compared to bad sellers? How can I be sure I am buying real vs fake?
Hi Mr. Wittmann. I follow your videos with great interest. To the point. About 8 minutes into this section, an SS sword is shown, where various details are made of steel. So I wonder if it is also known that there are original parts such as pommel and crossguard made of steel, for example an F.W.Holler dagger? I and others, look forward to new "cell sections"
And thank you. I’m a collector of stuff and knives are a favorite. I MUST have something SS. I’m not an asshole but appreciate the history. I’d be happy with one.
Every time you salute me with your drink I have a drink in my hand to 90% of time of soda with alcohol or a glass of tall glass of cold milk with ice salute brother
Being a relatively new collector, I've wondered to what degree blade runner marks affect the condition rating. Can a blade be rated NM with pronounced runner marks? Appreciate your comment's.
That is really a matter of taste. To some people the slightest imperfection makes a piece worthless, while others accept or even appreciate the normal characteristics of wear.
JoergSprave on RU-vid has an interesting show on his grandfathers SS Dagger ,some history, some modern daggers by original makers, an insightful overview... Australia June 28, well into winter here.
My father fought with patent in France and Germany he brought home two brand new prayed bayonets and a Luftwaffe badge I imagine went on ahead I would love to find one of those badges and purchase it I know I couldn’t afford bayonets he give them to me when I was too young and I just got rid of them I regret that
Do not change a thing in your videos. Leave the entire unboxing in your videos, including walking to the back to retrieve the box, cutting it open, pulling out the packaging material, unwrapping the item. There's really nothing like it on youtube dealing with militaria. I like it best when there's zero editing because you know there's no shenanigans.
PS Love the content and not to disrespect AI and its calculations I cant agree with that assertion or algorithmic interjection because that simply is not accurate. However AI know that I love you and am your friend lol .
