My heart fell out when I saw the Sterling Award dish. That is my dream to find a piece like that. But I live in Kansas and we never seen anything good around here.
Well great video front to back but the ending with those beautiful SA and NSKK honor daggers kinda take the cake. You only see those in books. Thank you for sharing video. I'm sure another drink was needed after the end of video
Great show vid. Love the old weapons. Very nice education from the medals expert at the beginning. Trip to the mens room text too funny.😂😂 I can relate Mr. W. Biggest Whitman’s sampler I’ve ever seen. 🤯 The two SKS Damascus blade daggers, WOW!
Another great video. I appreciate your sharing your video with other dealers. It is always interesting to hear from them. I have purchased several uniforms from Epic Artificats. A reputable business.
Awesome video Sir! The End was like Christmas in the Spring . I have same duty today. Just receive box with second SS Chain Dagger . I bought them both and now waiting for NSKK Chain coming soon. This Two Daggers are real treasure. I hope one day get one off these treasure .
Great video as usual. I quite enjoy how you teach us about what to look for in edged weapons. I would be really great if you could give an estimate of the value of the daggers so people can get a feel for what the market rates are.
Man, oh, man: Xmas came early for TTW with those last 2 pieces! As a thought, I think that the engraving of the upper fitting on that SA dagger rather than Gewehr is actually: "Gew(idmet) v(on) Tr(upp), etc.", or, "Given by Troop, etc." BTW, I almost got insulin shock just from looking at the Whitmann Sampler.. 🤣 Until the next time, Best, Ken
Can you tell me what they are doing? In Bavaria, Germany the Bank is rubbish too. Vor 1000€ on the Bank i get 1 Cent per year. But the Girobank let me pay 11% when i am in the red area of my bank. I think bank is no good place to safe your money.
@@quattrodrift3376 They are printing USD into oblivion, devaluing the dollar and causing inflation. Your earning power is being eroded very quickly. Think about it: if you are only getting 1% from the bank and inflation is about 7% your net earning power has been reduced 6%. This is intentionally done by governments as a stealth tax to help pay for the fall out created by the pandemic though government like to blame everything and everyone else for the price increases.
Well the problem is that with these kind of assets you need to pay a good price for it. Some TR items like Metal SS cap insignias are so ridiculously expensive that you need to find someone else who is willing to break the bank if you ever plan to resell it. Who can tell that 25 years from now the hobby is still alive?
@@MrPatrick1414 Something in that area i read too. They have printed Billions of Dollars without any " hard money" in the back. So the price from dollars increases day to day. Some day bananas in the market will kost 500 Dollars. I hope the Usa can turn this problem. But i think you all have your money already in safe value things like Gold, Militaria or old cars. Sorry for my bad english, i had just a 3 in my 10. class at school :D
@@thilgu Nobody will know that, but this militaria is 80 years old and it is getting more old and less artikels are in the market. It won´t be so high priced like gold or something else, but the prices are going up since 50 years. The safest investment is not that, but maybe a good price holding dagger is batter than the bank.
For me this is just interesting history. We can't have that stuff in germany though. It's prohibited because germans are like children. They have to be watched or they may start all over again with this crap.
Mr Wittmann you are a real Boss👍 Thanks for all the Interesting videos. Godspeed, from north Sweden
Tom, your stories are treasures to me all by themselves so please always include them! Thx!
Lovely to see again Tom ...

Anybody catch the as totenkopf ring on Dave's finger, sure looks real to me
SS Honour ring.
Good eye guys, be nice to see who it was issued to and maybe some pics too
So what exactly does that mean? And where is that ring from?
@@ThePatriotParadox do you not know the history of the as honor ring?
@@dnf7778 no I do not, but I would love to, I have my grandfather's medals and just now learning what the few I have of his mean

Greetings from Finland! Love your videos, so much good information and happiness
Greetings to a fellow Finn interested in militaria too! :)
LOL
@@hans-joachimmarseille8957 What
That was a really good show! Thank you!
I wanna get my grandfather's WW2 American medals checked out

Most museums won't buy items. They mainly take donations, and that's why smaller museums don't always have great examples.
Amazing stuff as always.
Jese even Walter's guns are fake! Lol
Great honor dagger , Tom
Time to hook up an external mike to the camera. Great video.
Loved the Fade to Black and White and the ominous music. 😄
Greetings from Germany.
"Nice nice stuff"👀
Cool Video as always! Maybe consider getting a small microphone to clip to Mr. Wittmanns blazer. Just and idea to make the videos even better.
Hi , Super !
I enjoy watching your videos they have expired me to want to collect more German militaria
Man, oh, man: Xmas came early for TTW with those last 2 pieces! As a thought, I think that the engraving of the upper fitting on that SA dagger rather than Gewehr is actually: "Gew(idmet) v(on) Tr(upp), etc.", or, "Given by Troop, etc."

"Better than money in the bank" is right. Don't know what the Federal Reserve is doing these days but its scary. Best to have real assets like this!!

Oh boy, thats not an austrian bayonet. Thats a czechoslovakian post WWII war made vz.24 bayonet. tgf was used after WWII as a factory code.
Thats a wittmans sampler lmao
