Very informative, thanks. Mine was a captured pistol from the Hurtgen Forest battle which my uncle brought back, a duffle bag import in 1946. It had been issued to a German motorcycle dispatch who was captured by wandering down the wrong road right into a US Army road block. At least that the story I was told.
I like free stuff! A fascinating film! Thank you. I'm in England, so the dug-up Luger would be the closest I would ever get to owning one, or the book would be superb. Much appreciated.
@@robertslaughter7044 Because we are a weak nation. Weak politicians, weak judicial system, weak and corrupt media, weak parents, weak gun lobby, weak and stupid voters.
OMG it arrived 7/26 I received the Relic Luger and holster, so precious and brittle, it’s going into a special case and will be in a place for many to observe. Tom and Chris , men of their word! What an amazing gift to the 34th best customer… Semper Fi
I like free stuff. Whatever you have laying around. Thank you for a wonderful story. Such brave men. It is great that you & your staff have such a passion for those dwindling weapons.
I like free stuff. I miss my Luger collection (specifically my numbers matching Kreighoff with beatiful straw and 99% blue and holster... damn divorce #2!) I still love reading about all German wartime production weapons and atories! Love the channel and thanks for the conrent!
Thats a really cool bring back story,, i love that the collector had a photo of the man and everything. Really cool!I like free stuff, but free stuff doesn't like me 🤣🤣🤣
I like free stuff!! Relic Lugers amaze me or infact anything relic, it survived decades underground waiting for the right collector to show it the love it deserves. I am a young collector but I recently bought one of the relic lugers from your site, What is better than one luger, 2 of them. Thank you for sharing stories and other history content for people like me! Keep up the high quality content!!
not sure if I am in time, I like free stuff.. Thank you so much for the information and for keeping it interesting. Im sure you come across interesting but low value stuff all the time. Wha t a crative way to keep people involved and interested. I am amazed at how important these battle field finds are to the younger generations. What a great way to keep people involved!! History in your hands!
Thanks for the great video Tom. My Dad served in Patton’s Third Army and sent home several war collectables. I ended up receiving his Walther Spreewerk P38. Unfortunately I do not know the story behind it’s capture because he passed before I possessed it. I think he suffered with PTSD as he was never one to relate or enhance his war stories. Mom said he disliked fireworks demos and did not save his Army uniform giving them away right after his Honorable Discharge. The P38 I inherited is a good shooter, occasionally having mechanical difficulties firing in double action.
I like free stuff! Especially the WALTHER BOX! It looks like shoe polish may have been applied to the P38 holster. The white thread on the back top is dyed black, and the dull finish looks similar to paste polish. Nice set for sure, thanks for sharing!
You can remove tape with Ronsonol lighter fluid though once the tape adhesive has completely dried out it may not come off without damaging the paper. You don't want to use any other lighter fluid because it may contain oil which will stain. I've repaired some boxes using PH neutral Tacky Glue. If you keep the corners together it usually holds them after drying. You might also reinforce them with paper similar to the box..
As a bit of trivia: the picture of Mason next to his B-26 in WW ll is the Martin B-26 Marauder. It was mentioned that he also flew the B-26 during the Korean conflict. This is a totally different aircraft. It was built by Douglas Aircraft Corp. and was originally designated as the A-26 and named Invader. It was redesignated B-26 after WW ll. After the war, nearly all of the Martin B-26’s were scrapped. The Douglas airplane served not only in WW ll and Korea, but in a number of other later conflicts (Bay of Pigs, Biafra, Algeria and even in Viet Nam). Some of both aircraft types were converted to civilian executive use in the later post war years.
Did you see the photo of the Jeep with the pole welded to the front? In case anyone was wondering. The Germans strung wires across the roads to decapitate GIs in jeeps. The pole was there to catch and break the wire.
I like free stuff! Especially the dug up luger parts. I have a spreewerks p38 at home it was made in 1944 but it has black bakelite grips and cost around a grand and it runs really well! Really love it, probably going to get it buryed with me
I own a 1941 nickel plated Walther made p38 the magazine is also nickel all matching with the original holster I bought from a German speaking gentleman back in 1988 for $350 I have fired 2 magazines through it and keep it locked up on my gun safe ,he told me he brought it back from the war I tend to believe it because there is no import marking’s on it ,mine is in almost unissued condition,I plan on handling it down to my son and will never sell it ,I need to have it evaluated to see how much it’s worth …anyways watching your video reminded me about one of my many treasures I have locked away thanks I like free stuff also
I like free stuff, in particular ww2 surplus firearms. The different designs and materials used go from crude soviet weapons to nice lugers. So much history there and unfortunately there’s a war going on in the same lands. We’ve got to keep praying for Ukraine and Russia
I sure love free stuff !! That relic luger sure would help fill the empty feeling I have about selling my 1937 Krieghoff a couple of months ago . Love your videos
.....surely the P38: is the really most 'iconic' pistol in WW2, and it remains (not only among gun-experts) the best "locking-system": until today. Not-casually: the very-famous Italian "BERETTA" copyed it: for its very famous/all over the world appreciated "Mod.92".😊
Any way you could make a short video on BYF 44 E block series P38s? Seems like a difficult series to understand. I watched your Q suffic video and it seemed like you skipped the E suffix.
...sounds like he bought it or traded for it from a GI who was on the ground during the 'Bulge'...a typical occurrence in both theaters...my Army buddy's daed traded a commodity - prolly booze - for a Soviet TT-33 a GI prolly got in the same way - both were far from Berlin or at Torgau on the the Elbe where the Soviets & Americans met up...strange how some firearms seem to have been traded many times before it came into the possession of the final owner
