@@therandomplushchannel4520 nah it’s just because a lot were destroyed for scrap or were thrown away after the war and yes people do buy them which doesn’t help the price also it’s crazy to think when you compare it to the age of the earth 100 years is not that long ago (technically)
So pleased this came up on my recommendations, I used to visit your shop back in the 80s on Essex Rd , use to visit Quatermasters at the Angel and Andrew Beadle militaria when in Islington . Always loved popping in and buying bits and pieces and having a chat with your father, such a knowledgeable man. Lovely to see your still going strong. Thanks for the memories.
Another great video. I remember those catalogues and visiting your dads shop in Islington in the 1980’s you used to have to ring the buzzer to get in. 👍😁
I had the good luck to hold the Hitler collection back in the early 80s when it belong to Ray Zyla of Mohawk Arms ,he was the one who got it from the Veteran who came home with it .
With all due respect, isn't the price of militaria rising because of collectors and dealers charging prices that are for the more wealthy collector? Even 5 years ago things were much cheaper e.g British webbing and BD.
You Sir have one Great Job that is providing WW1 & WW2 History Buffs like me a very great service. I Salute you Sir. I am so pleased to have found your Channel. ~My Grandfather fought in WW1 and my Father fought in WW2, both in the European Theater. I fought in the Viet Nam War.
While I like watching you videos and the information that you provide, I am disappointed in your treatment of the historical artifacts. You are sitting on the Denison smock! From an archival and conservation aspect your treatment of these items is far from best practice or even respectful to the future owner of the artifacts. Please look after the items in your care.
And not to tell he sells them at prices like 5000 eur( refering to the usual M40 or M42) thats so much above the normal price even for a 90% quality helmet. Only a fool would give you so much for an item that worth 2500 eur max.
We used to play army/war dressed up in old war surplus in the fields and woods behind where we lived in the early 60's. Still got stuff up in mMums loft - WW1/2.
Yes i remember the shop in Islington as well , just down the road from Chris Farlow's "Call to Arms" shop ,although i never did ring the buzzer as i had no money to spend .I just marvelled at the window and dreamt ! In my first book on the subject " Nazi Decorations & Medals 1933 -1945 by James A Sawicki (line drawings only) published 1958 , which proudly states on the cover "the only authoritative book of it's kind published in English " (Oh how times have changed ).I paid 35/- that's 35 shillings or £1.75 in new money ! I listed some prices at the time which would be around 1970. Army Para Badge 100/- (£5.00), Gilder Pilots 120/- (£6.00) , Cholm Shield 100/- (£5.00) !!!! Now where's my time machine
We’re you connected to the military shop in Islington? I would visit my relatives in Holborn in the late 70’s and take the bus to visit that shop. Chris was the fellow who ran the shop. I bought a couple of WW1 German helmets and a WW1 German Picklehauber helmet.there which I still have. I remember he had an original WW1 cloth cover for a Picklehauber and I mailed him the money and never heard from Chris even though I wrote to him a few more times. This was way before the internet. I remember nearby in Islington a Antique market in the area called the Angel that had a shop selling hats and helmets.i miss those days and my WW1 German Picklehauber cover!
Only people belonging to countries directly involved in WW2 will be nostalgic enough to buy those memorabilia but for others its a dark part of history thats at best forgotten.
I bought 4 World War One original German pickelhauben for about $40.00 each in 1970. There was a store on 42nd street New York that was a pawn shop with a militaria department.
My dad had white Hitler's shirt in a closet, I remember when I was very young walking to that shirt and looking at it and seeing insignia AH. I didn't know what it was back then and some years later I realized what I was watching I found it by looking at a museum that had the same exact shirt, sadly my mom thought nothing of it and threw it away in trash. I told her how much it auction and she didn't believe me, she just laughed it off.
17:15 if you count in inflation it would still only be £338.14. I have heard some stories of someone I know that he could buy German ww2 tunics for around 100 gulden in the 80s.
Enjoying the channel. Used to collect more but toned it down 25 yrs ago. Seriously miss the smell of old surplus stores. Quick question? How rare are WW1 cavalry water bottles ( leather bottle carrier and strap ( with webbed shoulder))? Possibly Canadian ( looking for broad arrow).
Great video and amazed how cheap there were 40years ago I would buy of your site but its says it unsecure can you be able to make it more secure please
the arditi hardly used wirecutters, those were the death squads (squadre della morte), the name is used because of the nature of their suicidal missions, this engineers were to cut the barbedwire at all costs even if it means getting shot dead.
Do you know anything about British Diplomatic or MP uniforms? I have a original Victorian era PM uniform in the metal case with all accessories hat, shoes, stocking pants vest, etc. It belonged to Sir Henry Drummond-Wolff MP. And a boxed Edwardian era Dilpomatic uniform with all accessories that belonged to Colin Smith. I have a potential buyer but I fear so will be selling too low. Any help would be much appreciated.
@@jeffwallder5094 No it wasn't. Hugo Boss didn't design any of the uniforms. His company produced some of them toward the end of the war, but never designed them. Karl Diebitsch designed the famous black SS uniform, that's often attributed to Hugo Boss.

dear sir I have 5 old sables. german and dutch 1914 and later cavalrys - are you interested - in beautiful condition - all the pieces are signed by the maker and military part
Usualy ordinary soldiers up to sergeants got their equipment from gouvernement. Officers usually had to buy their equipment from own money, sometimes also wealhier soldiers also did so, to get better quality equipment, for example more comfortable boots
ThatsHowYou GetTapeWorms It was a joke. I have SO much of this stuff that my house should be haunted as hell by now 😂 People have said the same to me before, but my response is: I have a great love and respect for it all and for all the soldiers who lived and died with the stuff, so I doubt they would have a problem with me.

How much you take off for all the damage you caused banging those items together? I’ve never seen someone just throw items onto each other ,
They are just added in to the history of the helmet bro LOL

how did they know its was Hitlers
@Stinky Wizzleteats so that means it was his
@Stinky Wizzleteats did he have L and R on his shoes? Or AH.
The collection came back from the Veteran who got it from the Brown House along with it was his #1 Blood Order and his # 1 SS Stick Pin
Rorke's Drift was a battle in the Anglo Zulu War (1879) not the Boar War (1899 - 1902)... and you specialise in militaria 😴

Considering the average wage in 1978, prices have not changed much at all
There are some ww2 north african italian rifles on ebay atm, condition is described as 'never used and only dropped once'.

We're the Luftwaffe daggers stamped with "Solingen"??
Super rare Wolseley, the Royal Engineers flash should run Horizontal not Vertical.
How do you know it is foreign legion and not one the indochinese french troops helmet's for example? The look the same.
Note: pound was worth more in1978
Did they have smaller heads back then? They sure do look small
That collection should belong to the people, not for someone to sell trying to make money off of war.
How much would Churchill's cast off fetch ????????? DO I HEAR £5
How did you start collecting
England has better war souvenirs than America does.

what does private purchase mean?
Usualy ordinary soldiers up to sergeants got their equipment from gouvernement. Officers usually had to buy their equipment from own money, sometimes also wealhier soldiers also did so, to get better quality equipment, for example more comfortable boots
What goes up will go down again, only top quality will survive.
Wear to buy authentic SS??
I think I have most of the yellow catalogues still.
I like this collection, where are you based?
I would think the Russian would never relinquish that. I am suspect of this
Regimental haven’t got a good name on some channels as have been accused of selling some dodgy stuff, overpriced and untrustworthy.
I'd be very skeptical. How would they know it was Hitler's uniform and not some other German Soldier?
In a german comedy movie a man showed his guests a handkerchief, containing original nose slime/secret(?) of Hitler.
Well over priced.
And questionable to boot.
