ONE-OF-A-KIND California Collection | WW2 Guns & Artifacts | Part 3 

It’s okay to be “the Walther channel” if you want.

I was in the U.S. Army in the late 80's. As an M.P. we trained with the 1911 and the Baretta since they were phasing the 1911 out of the service as our daily carry. When we were cleaning the weapons after the range sometimes weed have a pile of parts on the table and it was easy to see how a slide or barrel could be mixed up and end up on a different gun. The one I used was stamp dated 1945 of manufacture! I was blown away that I was using a WW2 era pistol that could've been battle used or possibly by either of my grandfather's or any number of uncle's that served in the war too! So to me it's not a big surprise that sometimes military pieces parts got mixed up here and there. If you saw the tables in the armory with many different platoons and companies cleaning anything from the Baretta up to the Ma duece and everything in between,all at the same time,it was quite a trip to see all of that weaponry together. Great channel and thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge with us.

Everything from the 1900"s to 1950 was all so aesthetically pleasing, especially the guns.

You and others are the best aspect of arms and weapons enthusiasts.

Beautiful Walther's, museum quality to say the least. Thanks for the nice video.

An incredible collection reflecting a lifetime of dedication. Thank you, Tom, for not only sharing the collection but also your knowledge!

That one Luger has more Stamps than your local Post Office

Vielen Dank....EIN WEITERES SCHONES VIDEO......Excellent to l might add....From Kentucky...

I want this to become the Walther Channel.

Wow! Thanks for sharing! What a great collection and to be able to see what some of those Walther's looked like brand new from the factory!

1832 US short artillery sword. And a Walther 22 training rifle, one of the few training rifles can accept standard bayonet. Nice !

Wow...what a great series of videos! I'm sure you had another 4 videos worth of material! Thanks for sharing items from your friend's collection, so that other enthusiasts can see some beautiful pieces! As always, keep up the great work!

Unbelievable. Thanks

The blunderbuss was converted to percussion since Twigg died in 1792. Blackmore, H. (1986). A Dictionary of London Gunmakers, 1350-1850, Phaidon, Christie's, Oxford.

The blunderbuss has been converted from flintlock

Beautiful Guns!!!!

Algorithm food. Nice pieces. Absolutely incredible. Thanks for sharing.

I'm surprised that California let the guy have such dangerous weapons

In „Standarte“ you have to hear the “e” in the end, it’s a more oldfashioned word for group of soldiers or a military flag, not sure about size etc but Wikipedia tells me in the German SA there were 4 groups, made of brigades which in turn were made of Standarten and then further divided into Sturmbann , Sturm, Trupp, Schar and Rotte…. The Standarten could carry names (like Feldherrnhalle) Also on Wikipedia about the SA: The SA also had several military training units. The largest was the SA-Marine, which served as an auxiliary to the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) and performed search and rescue operations as well as harbor defense. The SA also had an "army" wing, similar to the Waffen-SS, known as Feldherrnhalle. This formation expanded from regimental size in 1940 to a fully-fledged armored corps (Panzerkorps Feldherrnhalle) in 1945. and the Feldherrn Halle is a Memorial from Pre Nazi times (not a beer hall) and the building still exists in Munich today (not that silly Nazi memorial, that was torn down after the war), it’s located at the inner end of the ludwigstrasse (a Feldherr is an old word for a military !leader)

A suggestion, Peter xxxxxxx American Museum of Walther Guns, as a virtual museum, good 360 photos, and all info that is obtainable about each item, or a collective virtual Museum with different "Rooms", Peter xxxxxxx, Legay-Collectibles, and so on, So we all could enjoy all these guns that usually is hidden in a gun vault.

A most excellent video. Thank you so much!

The easiest way to tell that the manual didn't come with the 1904-vintage Colt .32 is that it mentions the .380 version, which wasn't introduced until 1908.

The "stamper" put in as many stampings as possible, to get the job last as long as possible, to not have to go to the eastern front.

Many states with magazine capacity limits have “pre ban” rules in place , like Massachusetts, in which pre 1994 hi cap mags are legal to sell

here and S there an S everywhere an S beautiful Lugers like these just put a smile on my face

GOOD MORNING... 👍

there use to be a guy that did the Wa gun shows that had a huge collection of luger. he told me that he's been collecting for over 50 years . i wonder what has happened to that collection. seems like a lot of the older collectors are selling off their collections

I had to look it up. "Feldherrnhalle" is spelled correctly. Modern Germans would spell it "Feldherrenhalle", but that would be wrong in this case.

Pineapples were raised in aristocrats heated greenhouses attached to the mansion. Just a few with exotic flowers and roses. The plants were often used as centerpieces with the green fruit on the stalk and could be rented for a banquet setting. Remember, these are people who also went nuts for tulips there for awhile

Beautiful firearms and thanks for sharing your knowledge....

16:01 Serbian here, in Serbia all firearms made before 1945. Are considered historic or collectable weapons and can be obtained without any kind of license, we only have to report the weapon to the local police station. As for more modern firearms, licenses to carry and our right to defend ourselves we're pretty much screwed...

Love my k under ppk if you need one for the book let me know mine is in alittle better condition then the one shown + it would be amazing to have in your book!

Book 3 is "weapons and shooting manual, public order police" or something like that.

beware how you replace those lids they seem to catch if you press down the lower left corner last

Tom did you ever discuss the sight variations on the ppk rear sight seen earlier verses later?

Jan showed you the chinisium "Wauser", now behold the original German "Malther"

Thank you!!!!

The Blunderbus was a coach drivers fave I heard, but just as much a highwaymans as I heard some old ballad about a highwayman who used one too

I'm actually a Canadian and I have lived in The Netherlands for 45+ years. My German is pretty good as a result. Does that make me "snooty"? Can't imagine the Dutch treated you that way. Would love that Karl fischer book.

I have WW1 Colt 1911 (1914 dated), Canadian contract, all original. It's rare or not?

Some of these guns I would never want to buy. I'd be too anxious about messing up their incredible quality

Hi Great video. Snooty do you mean the Brits Lol.... I'm a Brit and I collect Browning & Inglis High Powers sadly do not have a 103 German stamped yet. We can have them if your a Historic collector.

All you need to come up now is with the blood flag

I enjoy being educated

Tom, can we pre-order the book?

The artillery sword was a working sword/knife a so called fascin knife.

Why do your collectibles appear to be too expensive for me to collect?

What’s your personal carry gun? Home defense gun? An mp40 or a Luger?

~ Being from California, that collection must have been assembled long ago, most of those guns could not be sent to California now>>>>>>>>

I'll take the whole lot. Whom do I write the check to?

Do you have US Is military pistols of World War II too

You mean the Derringer that belonged to Booth not Lincoln.

You pronounce the "e" at the end of Standarte.

We all know which the snooty country is , N’est pas monsieur ?

What is the web site?

Das gute

" I have never seen one, especially in this condition " ?? Sorry I had to point it out.

🪖💵🤌🏻

Make Germany great again like Trump's M.A.G.A. slogan.

Tom, please stop saying "rare". Everytime you say it's rare, the price goes up. At 75, I'm trying to justify a purchase.

That bull shit about the gun that was to honor making Germany grate again smacked of 1\6\21!!
