Thanks Tom..another great vdo.. My students here at the Royal Thai Airforce Academy love them... I use them for English lessons which they really appreciate .... Keep up the good work...Chris Cooper
Mr Whittman, Thank you and thanks to Ob for the videos. I use to go to the shows a lot until my legs gave out. I'm old and just don't feel like getting around those convention centers anymore because I wear out too quickly. These videos are almost as good as being there in person. Much appreciate your knowledge on these historic pieces and look forward to watching many more.
Well Tom great video amazing items great show. Tell Craig gottlieb I said hello. Fantastic video your display is second to none I saw alot of your items on your unboxing shows in the video. Thanks for sharing H
The inscription on the presentaion dagger (at 24:00) is "Für Ehr und Pflicht bis Herz und Klinge bricht" was an old Prussian saying ioften inscribed on swords, daggers and knives. The translation to English "For honor and duty until heart and blade break" basically means "use this blade to serve with honor until death."
Don't know what era, the best cutlery were made, but I'm sure any kind of cutlery, GErmans build around WWII era, are the coolest and most beautiful I've ever seen!!! Thanks for sharing this with us mr Whitman! God bless
Oh man video was too short! Wanted to see more of that show. I never get get to go to any of them :( Thank you for the content though, I learned a lot!
In 1841 the needle gun was introduced into the Prussian army. It was the first military weapon to be loaded from the rear, i.e. not from the muzzle, that was generally introduced. The needle gun therefore had a higher rate of fire than the historical muzzleloader.
Amazing collection , such a large amount WW11 German items in America ,would you say that the personal items were legitimate battle field trophies of war or stolen ?
Hello Mr. Whittman!! I really enjoy watching your videos!! What was the name of website at the end of the show?? The gentleman from Germany, helmut?? Curious to see what all he has!! Thank you!!
You are right sir! Im 16 years old student I have worked month of my summer holidays to obtain some money so i can buy something but the prices are still too big. Now i have like 700$ and planning to buy SA dagger
Prices will fall drastically when the old collectors die off, at least for the common items. Now, for the AH, Goring, Himmler, etc. items the price will always be sky high because of the notoriety of the individual and the quality of the items.
@@MrTruckerf Tom has said he is not into firearms, we know he is a expert on daggers and would rightly correct anyone who inaccurately describes any parts on a dagger. It does not matter if you have heard the word clip and magazine used interchangeably for 60 years by people who are ignorant on firearms, Them two items are not the same and have never functioned the same.
That Ludwick hunting cutlass is a reproduction. I was caught out at an auction with that same model in England a few years ago. Good quality but not original
I say this respectively, but I just don’t get the emotionalism over a woman whose empire has caused more misery and sorrow in the world. For example, the African colonies both before and after their liberation (The UK never gave them their economic freedom).
Someone that goes grave robbing German soldiers burials and disrespecting the soldiers remains is more than creepy to say the least. If mr. Wittmann would only know half what that guy has been up to he wouldn't want to be associated with him.
Thomas; Does you German friend, at the end of the video, have to have a special license to sell Third Reich collectibles in Germany? I had heard you could get jail time for having anything with the swatz on it.
I did not know such things were allowed in Germany. They are VERY strict about enforcing anti-nazi laws there. They cannot even talk about the nazis, at least on the German TH-cam knife and bow channels I have seen.
Thanks for the interview Mr Wittmann.
It's great to see some of Tom's favorite pieces out of his collection, hope to see more of these .The man's a legend.thank you sir.

Loved that you spent so much time chatting to Bill Shea, Tom. He's another one of the real good guys in the hobby! 😊
Ruptured Duck is up there with you and Johnson's in terms of trustworthiness.
perhaps Bill needs Alex to visit him and suggest he start doing some unboxings of his own ;) then we'd have twice as much fun
Mr. Wittmann thanks for another amazing video. Special shout out to Ob, the man behind the camera. Keep up the amazing work guy's
Great Video Thank You from Bay Area CA!!!

Thanks for a great video, Tom! It will tide me over until I can get to a MAX Show again. 👍😎

To the victor go the spoils. Or, when you win you are the new owner. It has always been such in war.
Keep up the videos.
Tnx i Learn a lot
Very nice video!
Great show gents🥃
It’s tough to follow. We want to see some prices.
23:22 the inscription "mit Ehr und Pflicht bis Herz und Klinge bricht" = "with honor and duty till heart and blade breaks"
Thanks for doing this. Please, when you talk to your other vendors, please let us know their company name and web site instead of just their names.
New sub ! Liked 🙏🔥🙂😍🎉👍😍
Hello Mr. Whittman!! I really enjoy watching your videos!! What was the name of website at the end of the show?? The gentleman from Germany, helmut?? Curious to see what all he has!! Thank you!!
52:02 REALLY?????
what's the name of the shop from the second performance?
I Sure hope I can make it to one and meet him maybe get that autograph and buy some daggers 🗡 👍
It's beautiful stuff, but how are new young collectors going to afford this stuff? I collected years ago but now the prices are extraordinary
You are right sir! Im 16 years old student
I have worked month of my summer holidays to obtain some money so i can buy something but the prices are still too big.

Another Bobby Dazzler! Who is the guy with the Hindenburg Cap for sale. Thank you for any information.
Lizzies in a box
1:07:40 Not the grip, Not the clip, It is called a magazine. Now give me a cigar!!
We all knew what he meant. I have heard the two used interchangeably for 60 years and it probably was common long before that.

Mr whittman I’m interested in a dagger or two. I also have an insane collection as well as some things that were hitlers
👍👍👍

It's amazing, even amongst nazi iconography that Craig Gottlieb guy stands out as creepy.... now that's saying something
Someone that goes grave robbing German soldiers burials and disrespecting the soldiers remains is more than creepy to say the least. If mr. Wittmann would only know half what that guy has been up to he wouldn't want to be associated with him.
Mr.wittmann what IS your Favorit dagger? Gruß Felix From Düsseldorf Germany..my six.t try😂
