Down the Cellar 7 - (Un)Lucky Day (F)Unboxing

- Greetings, cellar dwellers!
This would have been published yesterday but, being Friday the 13th, nothing went right. The SD card with the recording went missing and required a search party to locate, the upload decided to get stuck at "100% processed" and stay there all night, and then to top it off the video editor had an sudden and crippling attack of Weltschmerz/existential angst. But that's all behind us now. The brain medicine has been distributed.
Grab your fifth of rotgut, er... "fine" Imperial blended "whiskey", light up the moderately priced stogie of your choice, and join Tom Down the Cellar as he flies in the face of bad luck (and the attendant box opening mishaps) as he hacks his way through the ever growing pile in the office.
I'd like to thank each and every one of you wonderful people who watch these videos; your commentary really makes them worthwhile, and it's been a long time since we've seen Tom so excited about TH-cam.
If you have a question, comment, complaint, or criticism, or would like to share (or sell) your collection, please feel free to write Tom at:
herrwittmann@gmail.com
An email is the best way to get your question answered, because while Tom most definitely reads your comments he hasn't quite gotten the hang of replying to them in context.

Those videos are never boring. Looks like a Christmas Eve. Thanks for showing and I love both Naval daggers!
We love the good bad and the ugly.😎 Never waisting our time. Friday the 13th just another day. My grandma used to say the glass with the ice and the dark liquid was just her nerve tonic.😂😂
the joy of these videos is seeing what you see good or bad and of course seeing your joy when you get free bubble wrap...my dad still celebrates every time he gets an unused stamp on his mail that he can re-use...the joys of ageing i guess
It is so funny when you sip and smoke haha! Cheers! 🥃
I always enjoy these unboxings. I laughed at the mannequin story) Thank you for the upload, and have a great weekend!
Thanks again for another great video,
Great to see how to tie a Heer knot,

Hello Tom! I can see the day when your box cutter will hold equal value to your finest daggers!
Another great video!! Love every minute great items!!
I can't wait to collect more German world war II collecting it is one of my favorite things to learn about
These videos are great. Can’t wait for the next one.
Nice daggers and swords with excellent explanation as usual... Thx sir
Heerlijk fijne goede video weer. Dank u wel meneer 👍👍👍
Hi Tom, Laughing along with you as I remember the mannikin story and the Jaguar. I have to say that all the blades "rang the bell". 👍 The doorbell at the Playboy mansion had a Latin inscription that translated into "If you don't swing, don't ring." Guess the guests weren't there to pick up an outgoing sword box.. LOL 😜
Thank you so much for the information
Thanks Tom, another evening treat....its great to watch you as much as it is the items, you are quite a character and it's a joy to watch. By the way, are you planning to keep the AH ink pots for your collection? I know I would hahaha
Thank you, Mr. Raubal; I always look forward to your comments. For for the ink stand, that item has been attacked in the comments from the moment it was posted.
GOOD TO KNOW
Someone has very good taste in swords! 👍
They were particularly nice.
Cool👍
Nice silver cigarett case. I asume that the owner was in action during Warsaw Uprising in 1944.
Love ur videos Thomas, keep goin'
Nice videos!
I want that cigarette holder. That’s a spectacular thing!
Keep em coming
❤💯❤💯❤
It was very telling that you identified the two SA scabbards as being “post war” instantly. You didn’t even have to fully expose them from the packing. What did you see so quickly that perhaps we didn’t catch on camera? Although I love the fabulous original items I also learn as much from the duds!
Rolll the dice Tom !

@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria Love me some Frank class !!
Interesting cigarette case. I could not find Konigtigers assigned to that unit,or the HG division 1 or 2.
Personally I am very skeptical of cigarette cases.
Same.
Another good one! Ever consider selling one of your cigarette cases?
Just got notified Mr Whitman had another Cellar video! Love it. Cigar. Drink. Doesn’t get any better than this. Could watch these all day. Not wasting our time Tom, feels like Christmas morning. Just be thankful the first guy who sent the pins didn’t send the swords, lol. You’d still be unwrapping. Will that SS dagger be on your website??
Thank you very much, Mr. Burrows! I'm not sure what is going on with the dagger but you can always shoot Tom an email directly.
@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria ok I will. Thank you for that Tom, and thank you for your Cellar series. Speaking for myself, I think they are great and enjoy the heck out of them. It’s great to come home from a day at work and head down the cellar, smoke, drink, and unwrap militaria. Thanks again sir. I’ll be waiting for number 8
Thank you mr wittmann another fantastic video.
Kevin
Can you guys make a video on how mr Wittmann got into this type of business, favorite items etc?
A Whittmann historical documentary would be a treasure! It seems a new collector gets started everyday!!! It would be a great inspiration!!!!
Are the Blades on those swords Super Sharp ? Or are they just sharpish - more ceremonial
They are pointy but not at all sharp edged.
@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria
Thankyou for letting me know , 👍
By the way , That was one Heck of a Cigar / Cigarette case with the
King 🐅Tiger provenance , My Favourite Tank 👍 I liked your GAG about the Manequin in the backseat of your Jaguar lol👍😀👍 Have a Cracking Good Day Sir 👍
Heer Wittmann you are Super! 👍🤣😂
by the way whats you drink of choice there!!
how much would the pins go for just wondering
Hello Thomas, do you remember the Christmas party at United Refrigeration 1976 with your cousin Joe I sure remember🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Iam wondering if the last item was a cigarette case/box?
You're not wasting our time. We don't mind seeing the uncut opening of a shipment of parcels, even with the good, bad, and ugly.
Thanks for that Mr Wittman in the process of getting over covid delta variation fantastic swords made my day
Well done as usual Sir. As a historian specialized in ancient weapons etc though it does kill me when you call a sabre a sword & vice versa. Oh & the guard that y'all are calling a "p guard" is technically called a "stirrup hilt". Its makes things so much easier to classify & study when there is a standardized system after all. Either way a straight blade is a sword while a curved blade is typically a sabre (at least in european arms). God bless.
Do you worry about the cigar smoke smell clinging to the items?
With all due respect,,,,, only Pussy’s worry about what cigar smoke clings to!!!! Real men would pay a premium for the smell of cigar smoke on a quality edged weapon!!!!
Ох оператор жёсткий тип. Не перестаёт меня удивлять.
I believe it’s Mr. Wittmann’s son who does the camera work. They are professionals in edged weapons and other militaria. They are not professional film producers. Don’t be so “hard” on them. Most of who watch these videos are collectors and forgive the momentary lapse of focus and other imperfections :)
You should get some more German uniform from world war II and see how much they want for one cuz I've been looking for a German world war II tunic or a long time
Did the second WKC Navy dagger again a cat's anus pommel? Thought I've seen it :) Greetings from a collector over the pond here in Hannover, Germany. I love your unboxing videos for my morning coffee. And sometimes (like now) to my evening drink, too. So: Auf Ihr Wohl, Mr. Wittmann.
Oh man Cat's Anus Cat was denied an appearance.
I have been wanting to buy a 3rd reich collectible! Maybe a knife? Or a patch? Not sure
You keep going sorry for wasting your time. Not for me. Cheap and great entertainment lol
