Erik’s depth of knowledge about each badge amazes me. He’s so informative!
Very much so.
You guys make a great team!!!
Preserving history is a lost art, but you guys do such a good job at it, thanks JD and Erik!
Thanks! Doing what we can :)
Can't get enough of Gettysburg and the Civil War. Thanks.
Thanks!
Me too. I’m so glad I found this it’s fantastic!
@@adrienneflora7078 After I first discovered this wonderful series by JD & the Museum, I went on a mission to watch all the previous podcasts. Exceptionally done well. Right people doing a great job on all their presentations. Thanks for the reply.
I can't wait to visit the museum one day I live near shiloh so the Civil War has always interested me and I share my birthday with D-Day so that museum would be the best of both worlds
Love unboxing day. It’s exciting to see all the neat stuff that comes through. 😁👍
Always something interesting coming in there.
I am fascinated by the amount of knowledge of your friend at the museum. He sure does know his business :)
Always learning!
WWII German FJ gravity knife as box cutter... A touch of class
Using a people opener for your box opener....love the repurpose.
Ha!
I'll be honest - I was almost hoping to see a red scrapbook with B&W photos, even though they aren't war relics, but seeing all the relics that were sent was amazing. The history lesson of their designs and time periods was amazing to say the least. Thank you Erik and JD!!
Is something wrong with me? Always watch videos about Gettysburg.😂 Even if it is not all about Gettysburg.
Ha!
I cant get enough of these videos. So much history,big or small its all important. Thank you both❤...as a side note i use to make military medals and felt proud to do so.
Thanks! Much appreciated.
@@TheHistoryUnderground Keeping history alive! Well done, love these videos! I've been a reseller of German WW2 and WW1 photos and paper items for 22 years, so I love this type of stuff. I got over 1200 documents that were liberated from the NSDAP office in Krems Austria by an Austrian citizen and apparently hidden for decades. Got them last year and just a treasure trove of documents.
I’m obsessed with this type of content!!!
Thank you!!!
👍🏻
Absolutely beautiful bring back items, wonderful items for the personal collection. I've been building up my WW1 & 2 museum pieces slowly but surely. Things have become so expensive.
Nice! And yes, the prices have jumped. I predict that they'll only keep going up which is why I try to grab stuff when and where I can.
Some years ago at the Show of Shows, Louisville, KY, I stoped by a vendor table spotted a very nice Western Wall badge, I asked price? $35.00, with our a word I pulled my trucker wallet a 20, 10, 5 on table. His only comment, “I guess I priced that one too low”. No, haggling = good price.
I didn't even make it halfway through the video because it got me all excited to go to the website and buy stuff! Love the content, love the museum! Bought a few things last week for my wife and will be buying a couple things today for myself! appreciate y'all.
Ha! Nice. Hope that you enjoy it.
@@TheHistoryUnderground I always enjoys his stuff! Also, i was very sad to hear about your stuff being stolen.
Erik, one of my favorite things to do now is wake up early in the morning to see what new stuff is for sale! This morning i snagged the Hitler youth Jugendfest sports award pin! Appreciate you and all you do.
Straight from the heart… thank you so much for all your hard work, your videos are fantastic
🙏🏼
Approaching a HALF MILLION subs JD. Whoooo hoooo. So happy for you and Erik. Keep it up man.
🙂
Enjoy the video mate it was really interesting mate can't wait for the next one
Thanks! Glad that you enjoyed it.
How awesome that Erik deals with this every day? (Is is a sin to be just a little jealous?).
Pretty wild to see what comes through there.
That music at the beginning is great!
Thanks!
Honestly didn’t know about the museum selling items. Just bought a couple of those coins. Big thanks to the museum for preserving these items.
👍🏻
Yet another awesome video. Thanks JD & Erik for the vast knowledge and information. Watching your videos is like seeing an old friend. I am always watching with my eyes wide open and I'm always picking my chin off the floor.
That was one fine unboxing Eric. Thanks JD for posting a video of these war artifacts.
👍🏻
Love the FJ knife bit. Now that's unique in and among all unboxing videos.
😅👍🏻
Thanks J.D. for sharing so awesome to see these blast from the past so cool!!✌️🇺🇲
👍🏻
Was just at the museum, for the first time today, and got a chance to chat with Eric for a couple of seconds... Incredible museum, can't wait to come back!
Fascinating unboxing. Erik has impressive depth across a wide timeline of historical artifacts. He seems part curator, part collector with just a smidgen of used car salesmen thrown in.
Very cool! Not just the unboxing of cool stuff ~but learning about the weapons and differences between 1st 2nd very cool!
Glad that you enjoyed it!
My wife and I will be visiting the museum next month. Looking forward to visiting with Erik.
Awesome! Heck of a place.
I completed a 6 month TDY to a location in Germany a year ago and spent each weekend in France or Belgium seeing battlefields and memorials…some I learned about thru your channel (thank you!) and others I saw before you featured them. And despite dozens of trips into Gettysburg I had not visited the Gettysburg Museum…went last October because of you. Always wonder what you will come up with next. Thanks for your tireless efforts to educate and inform!
Very nice treasures! Thank you for sharing the unboxing with us.
I was just there last week. The Gettysburg museum of history is top notch!
Great to see these amazing pieces are still coming through the museum ! Hope all is well Erik ! Rudy
SUPER COOL episode! Tell Erik the best I can do for all those Relics is $3. Fans of Erik in his Pawn Stars days might appreciate that. ;)
Ha! Well played.
Very nice JD & Erik!! JJ
Erik reminds me of me on Christmas day. Great work Erik and JD.
Ha!
Strange how everything still looks so shiny and new
That Jap pilots head cover is niiiice.
Thank you for all you do, for history and education ❤
I can’t wait to visit. Hope to get there soon!
There is something surreal and disturbing about this video. Like some kind of obscure pilgrimage. My grandparents, who suffered greatly under these criminals, must be turning in their graves. I would burn all of this without a second thought.
It should all be scrapped.
I enjoyed watching the unpacking so much, thank you for sharing this.
A fan from England 🇬🇧
Always something exciting coming into the museum.
As former collector it makes me want to start again. Erick put on your white gloves!
Wow, no kidding Erik, 10 hours into this posting, and all "daggers" are "sold"😮 Thanks for the unboxing. 🙋♂️🏍💨
Yeah, they typically go quick.
Those coins are the ta-tas! Very cool. I don't remember you doing a video focusing on currency from different wars, etc
👍🏻
Excellent pieces. Outstanding.
Thank you
I'm going to Gettsyburg in early June. I will definitely be checking out the museum in person. Can't wait!
Awesome!
04:00 According to the markings („Gösch“) this is a jack of a warship.
👍🏻
Boker mini eagle OTF ....now that's a handy box opener that requires no gravity 😊
Dang my father was a ww2 collector of "things" he had a few snap shots of Hitler and had a few helmet with the swastika and a couple of the arm bands you showed! He had a bunch of stuff and when he passed away I think my mother gave it all away 😮 I wish I had all that stuff today. Great video guys!
Another fantastic episode.
Thanks!
We tried to get flags like that for a production of "The Sound of Music." We wound up having to make them ourselves. It's not easy to get them (that's a good thing) except it makes production design hassle.
JD you made me go to the Indiana War Memorial and Museum in Indianapolis
The unboxing videos are really cool!
👍🏻
Erik scares me with that knife. Stand back, JD!!!
😂
@@TheHistoryUnderground Just ordered some artifacts from Erik.
8:30 I too get excited when I get packages from Germany and Austria. I have pickers over there as well, some going all the way back to 2001 when I first got started. I mainly deal in third reich paper items, photos, etc. and tinnie badges. Sometimes you get extras you weren't expecting!
Nice!
Always interesting!
Fantastic Film-and thank you so much for all the information on the badges. I know some the Civil War awards, but none of the WWII ones!
Really interesting thanks
👊🏻
Awesome guys stuff you get in allot items and not even half what in back 😊
Love this, thank you.😊
👊🏻
Great to see all the items unboxed. So JD how many daggers & other items did you take home? 😂
Ha! Was going to try and sneak one while he wasn’t looking but didn’t get a chance.
Here you guys are again making me drool 😂 Awesome episode!
👍🏻
Awesome video again!!!
I am hoping to get to the Gettysburg Museum on Sunday Aug 18th. Driving from Wisconsin
I was just leaving your museum today Eric when I saw you coming down the stairs. I just wanted to say hello and tell you how much I enjoyed your episode on the Confederate arithmetic book. The young lady pointed it out to me, she was very pleasant, you on the other hand seemed stand offish and down right rude. It's my 3rd visit to the museum but with your attitude it may be my last one. I subscribe to your channel as well as History Underground, but my patronage to yours is in question, I'm hoping this was just an isolated case
I always like the unboxing videos 👍
One of these days I have to send Erik some pictures of the flags I've added to my collection over the years. I usually acquired them as part of other lots I picked up. Except for a few, I really don't have a lot of interest in them.
Oh wow. Heck, I'd like to see that myself.
Love Eric's knife!
It's crazy how I just saw someone open all of my dream items 😂
Love unboxing videos
👍🏻
Very cool!
Wonderful stuff! I wonder how items in the museum is taken care of? When arriving at the door and later when stored long term / display. I mean like paper materials like book´s, or textiles I suppose need some care regarding humidity, insects (like moths) and such destroying the items. Are items treated with some special chemicals or ever washed in any way? I guess that textiles with, let´s say blood or sweat stains or items that belonged to some well known character and such are left out of that loop but other stuff? I´m also thinking aging leather, rust on swords, knives, guns etc. Amazing video, so much knowledge here. Thank you guy´s!!!
Great question! I thought of that immediately when he pulled the Japanese pilots leather helmet out today. Leather folded improperly for a long time will stretch and crease and eventually decay if not properly displayed or stored…
Excellent video ! Tks !!
Interesting reboxed unboxing
Very cool stuff
Thank you for all the valuable information! Could you mention again the name of the knife Eric is using to open up the boxes with? Thanks!
its a evil knife from evil people
Those coins are fantastic
Pretty cool.
I’m glad you are able to get such quality but I found it very hard to look at the swastika. What do people do with those large flags?
I would have so much trouble not trying on all the hats. Idk why I love hats so much. 👒
So cool
The Bronze Infantry Assault Badge was awarded for motorized infantry and the silver for foot infantry.
well done chaps
❤❤❤❤ unboxing video's
👍🏻
Great video JD i love the relic videos very cool
I'm gonna have to circle back tonight to enjoy this, but looks like another great segment
👍🏻
I believe they were used on u boats as when wet they weren’t as heavy and dried out easier.
I was given a medal from a German friend who was part of the SS. He gave me a medal that had socialist republic of Deutschland. The medal had the swastika in the middle and had a gold wreath. It was stolen from my baggage at Ft Dix NJ when I was out processing from the Army.
I absolutely find it funny that JD's knife is smaller than Eric's knife
Ha!
It must be fun to be you guys. 😊
Does Erick have to save the documents as to where these NAZI items go ,with our crazy world you never know if a group may be purchasing things like this, Erick's knowledge of these item's is just awesome glad to see it being passed on thank you JD for bring it to us.
i imagine quite a few nutters buy this kind of thing. profiteering from the nazi period is very ethically questionable, some might think abhorent
love it
JD: I watch and enjoy your videos often. Erik's presentations are informative as well; however, this particular one was way too much Nazi for me. I understand the value of history, but can do without anything Nazi driven. Thanks
any july 20th wound badges in gold 😆🤣😂😂
Ha!
Warning! The museum website is addicting. 😂
Hi there, I just wanted order something from the website and why won’t you ship to Australia???? 😢😢😢😢
I have a question? I have some ww2 stuff civil war coins and bullets and a helmet from ww1 would that be worthy enough for the Gettysburg museum?
Ok, what was the knife he used at the beginning of the unboxing?
I just ordered 2 of them there silver coins.
Nice!
I have a belt buckle like the one you showed in this video one in steel and one in aluminum the steel one has the original belt still on it , it is pretty stiff. But its still there
Nice!
Web site is hard to get around , do you ship to Canada?
Selling History one medal at a time.
So are these consignments? Or gifted items Erik will inevitably sell?
These are all items that Erik purchased for resale. The sales go towards keeping the museum free to the public. Donated items aren’t sold.
