Very nice video. I love the japanese sword a lot. It is not chrysanthemums but cherry blossom or sakura in japanese. Very nice naval piece! Greetings from belgium 🇧🇪. And let us all live in peace and learn from history ☮️
Really enjoyed the interviews, I miss you walking around and seeing more of the vendors but I really enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and keeping history alive.
So much knowledge of edged weapons, I could listen to him go all day long. Thanks for teaching so much of the history of such great long lost craftsmen of that era. People will always criticize and say you're just collecting objects of evil and hate, just cause wonderfully talented craftsmen made them doesn't mean they believed in the ideology so take them for what they are historic pieces of long lost talented people proudly crafting something that sill functional eighty something years later. I am proud to be German.
l have about 15 daggers, army navy airforce, and 3 police 2 long 1 short dress bayonet, they have been wrapped in a flag, in a kit bag for years, but are fine, no rust, some have hangers and knots with them...where to sell? (FIGHT ALL DAY GO OUT TO DINNER, THATS BUSINESS😁)
😮 omg ! R Heydrich was featured in time magazine , and whats all the hangman's nooses about ? Now WHY ? Would an American mag have a picture of this HORROR of a man on the front page ?
Those tags are interesting. Many dont realize how big a part the NAZIs & the war played in crafting how international trade works today. It helped take the Anglo-American Establishment & their system world wide.
Good evening Sir thank you for the Excellent video the nite ,the flowers on Alex Japanese Sword look like lotus flower to me,Hello Rob keep up the good work 😘love n peace Carl Fishburn
It was great to meet everyone at the SoS! I’m so thankful I was able to share the story of my great grandfather with Mr Wittman and Co! I hope y’all enjoyed his unique story of being a spy inside of the SS!
Tom, I hope you can answer my question: I am thinking of going to the SOS next year as a European. Do you bring cash to such a place or can you pay for stuff with a debit card? My second question is how do you keep your stuff "safe" during the show? You walk around and someone can just snatch a degen from your table if your son or someone else is not paying attention.
Like 90% of dealers are cash only I will tell you that from going this last week. Secondly, he has a few people working for him that watch his table when he’s up and walking around.
Cash is almost always going to be the way to go; most of these old guys will give you a blank stare if you had them a card. They are definitely stuck in a time warp. As for safety, they've always got someone sitting at the table when he and Rob are walking around. I think it was Tom Junior this year.
The sword from 34:30... Im from Denmark. And Gunther pancke was in Denmark. He was a obergruppenfuhrer and police general. In 1943 to the end of the war he was head of police and in 1944 he was responsible for the terror attack (operation Mowe and hipo) Taking total control on what was left of danish police... Residing in the police headquarters in Copenhagen panckes hipo used terror and torture. Many danish police fled to Sweden. 2000 were sent to concentration camps and many died there. Pancke got promoted to general in waffen SS in marts 1945. In 1950 he was sentence to 20 years of prison for crimes against humanity. After 8 years of prison he was released in 1953.
Hi Sir Tom good to hear and see from your videos once again my friend bare with me sir been absent from quite sometime since the pandemic started way back 2019. But im proud to say that i did not stop collecting militaria most especially WW2 German , GI’s and Japanese items. I remember i was there in California last 2017-18 visited my sick mom and my sister family i really missed your show there hopefully next year if i get lucky i might see you personally in one of your shows. Hope you still remember me sir from Manila, Philippines. I’m also a WW2 reenactor here base in Manila. Cheers! Lookin forward to see you soon… Adolf M Molinos.
I hope Alex did not encounter any unpleasantness while here. The American citizens have no quarrel with the Russian citizens. It is a disgraceful what out government is doing...
Some of these daggers and swords with these unusual and crude stampings would make me nervous. These are on expensive blades and they wouldn't be something I'd personally buy. My risk factor has dropped a lot having been burned in the past. The blades are original. I'm just talking about the crude stampings and etchings.
Great video Tom your so good with people and collectors I look forward to upcoming videos from your purchases at sos. Thanks for posting. That chained ss in your case is still on my mind
Hi Tom, Thanks for taking us to the SOS. I thought that I would have to break the viewing into segments, but here I am 90 minutes later. 👍😎 Loved Alex's Saxon Garde sword!
dude. that thing was MAGIC. did you see the incredible shape of the grip under that perfect sharkshin? that prick gets all the best stuff 😉 (love you Alex)
oh and how about that gorgeous customs hat and land customs dagger? I liked that guy - and his lovely gal. I wonder if he is doing what I plan to do - to have a beautiful matching hat to go with each beautiful dagger example... that's gotta be a thing right? hats and daggers?
Alex was actually the person I instantly thought of when sanctions and restrictions were announced! I was both surprised and pleased to see our favourite Russian in all his glory in this latest video! My best wishes to him too during this turnultuous time....
That Gottlieb guy is a creep, my god I wouldn't go anywhere near that guy
Walter always has these fantasy pieces.
really sucks 99% of it is fake
Isn’t that the gun expert from pawn stars?
Yeah, well known for dodgy nazi celebrity items . Research Craig gottlieb.

Dont you think Heer dagger or HJ dagger is better point to start a collection?
Cheers!

Good evening Sir thank you for the Excellent video the nite ,the flowers on Alex Japanese Sword look like lotus flower to me,Hello Rob keep up the good work 😘love n peace Carl Fishburn

A spy in the SS is almost unbelievable, Was there any documentation from the Country he worked for?
Thank you for the great video!
Great video Tom. Alex sure gets nice stuff, love that Saxon sword
Thanks!
I like watching your videos I can't wait to start collecting some more German WWII stuff for my German WWII collection that I'm starting
Whats the name of the book of the screaming eagles? Or the author

I didn't know there's was such a thing other than cash
Thanks Tom, that was great :)

Great vid. 👍🏼 Man I wish I could have gone to this show. Background sound not a problem at all. Makes it real.
fantastic video Thomas
all the best from England
Many thanks!
What is the name of the man that does the SS number research? I couldn't understand it well due to the back ground noise.
That Saxon sword was incredible... Drool!
I wish you guys would come to SW Florida. You would have thousands lined up to get in
I wouldn't mind a 2/3-hour show another great event mr. Whitman
Great video Tom your so good with people and collectors I look forward to upcoming videos from your purchases at sos. Thanks for posting. That chained ss in your case is still on my mind
What’s lame is I was at work while this was going on damn it hope I can make the next one!!
Within the walls of all this amazing memorabilia, I remember seeing big blue recycling cans! ♻️ 👍
Hey mr.wittman I got a knife with a swasticker on it. What's it worth?
Amazing video! Wish I had made it down to Louisville this year for the SOS.
First!!
27:54 in the cabinet looks like an older smiths and Wesson model 27 ,
Hi , Super !

@WarStory Military Antiques hope all is well with you mate. It can't be the easiest time to be Russian!
@@jamesponza I am in United States now and will film videos here next several months
Thank you, for the education.
Great Video Tom, all the best from Toronto!
Thank you Tom, as always...
Wish I was there..
Cat ass lol
Get Gollieb in the unboxing! Militarism gold!!!! Great info. What a guy!
One of the best videos you have made. Good to see Craig in one again. Hope Alex is not affected by the sanctions on Russia
I guess he will have a hard time getting back to Russia currently.
Alex was actually the person I instantly thought of when sanctions and restrictions were announced! I was both surprised and pleased to see our favourite Russian in all his glory in this latest video! My best wishes to him too during this turnultuous time....
