Down the Cellar #6 - Good, Bad, Terrible

- We've got a real mixed bag Down the Cellar today. If there's one thing we've learned over the years, it is that you are just as likely (and if you prefer more likely) to get trash as treasure in these boxes.
Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to watch this new series (and the funnier trolls); Tom really loves doing these!
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:

I love these videos. The unwrapping is part of the fun, like Christmas morning. That HJ knife was incredible. Keep up these cellar videos sir. They are awesome and give a very in person feel to the whole process. Thank you
Thank you very much, Mr. Burrows.
I’m new to your videos but have been collecting for 50 years. It all started with my grandfather who was a Major in the Luftwaffe gave me his medals when I was a kid. I’ve been hooked ever since!
Keep up the good work and keep them coming!
And THANK YOU for the Postal dagger comparison! The difference is detail is staggering.
Cigars, a good drink and collecting militaria..... What a fantastic life!!!
It makes me happy to see all these old Militaria from years pass my father also brought everything but kitchen sink from the war.
“This guy sent me his whole laundry” made me choke on my Cabernet. Cheers Tom!
The most fun part of these videos is watching Herr Wittmann wrestling with all the packing peanuts, bubble wrap, and socks! LOL!
well Tom, i really enjoyed this video. dont worry about how long they are, because people who love this stuff dont care. i could watch all night. great items and some not so but you give us a great education and thats priceless. thank you so much for doing these unboxings and please dont stop. we love it course i do. thanks tom
You are amazing, kind regards.
Awesome video.Fantastic atmosphere(🥃⚔️🚭) Thanks a Lot!
"They even look like they were washed!" Don't tell me you've gotten daggers in stinky socks, haha!
Hallo mr.wittmann you save my day,after a hard workingday.these HJ knife is wunderbar..god Bless you Sir.gruss aus Düsseldorf
Danke sehr!
Some real beauties today! (a few duds)
As always, very interesting. We enjoy these videos very much. Thank you for showing us. Have a great day!
Good evening Sir ,another great video thank you for taking the time to share your finds. The H Y knife is a BELTER, you said it may not have been issued,if so so would it be OK to look for paper bag and issue tag to go with said item.as long as the date of issue is relevant,wow just wow it must be like Christmas every day when postie delivers,love and peace always Carl FISHBURN Co Durham .
Mr Wittmann, Always slide the blade away from you when opening a box👍 Keep doing what you do, your the best. Greetings from England, Ross.
Das ist wunderbar 👌👀
Drinking in the cellar. Sounds like Beach Haven in the early 60s. ;-)
Another great hour of fun Tom..adore the AH ink Wells. ...amazing. I have had most of silver in the past but thats a first...
LOVE love these new videos ... you're a master at your craft and to me this is just like a Museum Curator opening long lost ancient treasures. Please continue this series!
Whittman time Prost !!!
AH Ink wells are awesome
That double Ink Well , Outstanding ! 😀👍
Was waiting for Tom to ring that bell rope at the end of the video! LoL!
I fire up a Churchill and pour a scotch every time I watch your video, good stuff as alway.👍🏻
Thank you very much, Mr. Berry. Cheers.
The panther head sword towards the end of the video with the artillery caisson etched no maker blade is a Richard Herder product. See Angola page 86 top left. The S.D. Marking on the SS NCO sword may stand for Schutzpolizei Düsseldorf and then there is that Ivory grip on that second model Luftwaffe dagger with etched blade! Just beautiful 🤩
The video reminds me of my favorite Clint Eastwood movie, The Good (Luftwaffe dagger with ivory grip, Herder
Panther head with engraved blade) The Bad and The Ugly.
I love your videos keep them up. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 Hope there is Irish Whiskey in that glass 🥃🥃🥃
Thanks mr Whitman nice to see you again.

Don't cut yourself !!
I can only speak for myself but I really enjoy watching your videos. Long, short it doesn't matter. Of course I prefer the long videos only because we get to see more items. Don't worry about how long it takes to unwrap the items either. Nobody is timing you and most of the time while you are unwrapping you are giving valuable advice or interesting information. Things that you might not have to give much thought to I find very interesting when you discuss how you came to your evaluation so quickly. You can't fake years of experience and you sir have that. You have definitely got a subscriber here for as long as you make videos for. Thank you for taking the time to make them and sharing your knowledge with us. I could just follow you around and listen all day to you discussing military items.
Love the video! Greetings from Belgium
Imagine being the poor guy with the fake SS armband and 100 assault badge! Being told on camera your stuff is bad. Probably spend hundreds back in the day on his hard earned money. He has my sympathy! There should be a rule to burn all fake material when found and exile all dishonest merchants to Siberia!
I cringed when that 100 badge came out.
How are these things gotten? Do people send him things to sell for them? Does he buy comparatively low and then turns them around for higher? Does he buy a mystery lot then opens them? Can't imagine people simply sending him items without something in return. Love your videos. Reminds me of my days with dad at the shows.
Almost everything in this video was sent in to possibly be consigned. We often don't know what people are sending until it shows up.
@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria Cool, thanks. Just curious.
This is not good for me. I stopped smoking 16 months ago and I thought I was done with it. Mr Wittman lights up that cigar and my legs go jelly. With all that goodies and that glass of honey..
I feel your pain. I've been trying to quite smoking for a decade, but it is almost impossible when 75% of the office smoke like chimneys.
Awesome videos keep them coming love watching and learning! 🥃⚔️🚬
Great video as always! Gotta have that cigar in the shot. Been eying the swords available on your site. Gotta narrow down my choices and pick one.
If we could smoke in the office it would look like a low budget Mad Men spinoff.
@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria hahahahaha
Amazing this "Down the cellar" youtube series! I can't wait for the next one!
gd stuff tom
Another great job by HerrWittmann ! I don’t believe I’d ever buy from anyone else !!
Thank you for sharing your insights Tom. Always a pleasure to learn something new from you 🇨🇦
Another great unwrapping video. It's very educational to put a fake dagger next to real one and compare the two, such as you did with the postal daggers.
Hopefully we'll be able to do more side by side comparisons. I think maybe a split screen situation would be best, although it may take some doing to get them to shoot the pieces correctly.
AH ink well, Alfred Hitchcock had good taste.
Another brilliant in the cellar unboxing, your definitely not wasting any ones time, we love it,that A H inkwell blew me away ,
Hi Tom, I am enjoying watching your #6 "Tales from the Dagger Crypt." 👍😎 I have to say, as you sipped your libation and fired up your DiNobli I had a sudden image of Reginald van Gleason III: "Mmmmm, how sweet it is!" 😁 Keep up the fire. Best, Ken
It's not a proper comment section without Mr. Rouse.
You regularly get as many views as you have subs which tells me only a small fraction of your viewers are subscribed
That's perfectly fine. There is nothing I like less than begging for subscribers.
When opening up boxes it is good to have a tumbler of "Old Thunder" bourbon at hand.
... great video Tom!
Dam love spending X-mas with Tom..Thanks Tom God Bless
Nice video
Thank you, Michael. I'm always happy to see your comments.
@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria yes because I know a few things about the German army and the collecting of it
Super Video, danke
Gruesse aus Leipzig
Great videos Tom! Keep up the good work!
And greetings from the Netherlands!
Veel dank!
Love your videos.
Yet again a great lesson in learning about this great hobby,
Thank you,
Best wishes from Austria, Salzburg,
Danke schön, ASH!
Very informative agian Tom. Love the ss swords Bravo wwg1wga love from the United kingdom.
Round 6 record, Whittman vs boxes/bubble wrap. Wouldn't it be cool to find a photo with that fantastic ink well and the Fuhrer together!!! It would double in value.
Well Tom I'm 70 but I'm still kicking it hard and I would love nothing better than to grab a dark Navy rum & coke and kick it with you in the cellar opening 'Christmas presents' .
You really know how to enjoy life and I love that.
Another great video sir ! I love these long videos . i look forward to the next one . i was curious if you would share whats the drink ?? Thank you very much for taking the time making these videos .
Just rediscovered your unpacking videos after a long absence, so happy, I have loads to watch, thank you!!!
My gawd these are enjoyable to watch, Thanks for the info! Makes me want to have a drink and look at more buying with this lol
Thanks for this wonderfull video again! Funny with the towels haha. Nice you showed the replica postal vs the original! These things are very helpfull for us. When i see you have a video uploaded i also start early haha 😂🥃
Another good video. Just out of curiosity what is Mr Wittman drinking?. What’s his poison lol
Thanks Tom...these videos are also a heads up of whats coming for sale on your website!!
getting fortified is half of the fun!
For Tom it is increasingly most of the fun!
Great video tom thanks for sharing 🤘🏼🏴👍
❤👍❤👌❤
Привет из России мой сын очень любит ваши видио и желает Вам успехов👍👍👍👍👍
Getting ready to send my etched bayonet and Steiner bino's up to you!
Watching Tom open the boxes is just as great as seeing what’s inside the boxes ahaha love the videos!
Love these unboxing videos...keep them coming.
Keep ‘e-mail coming!
What I originally typed was “Keep them coming” but my I pad spell check decided to change “them” to e-mail! 🙄
Mr. Wittmann what whisky do you drink?
He has all kinds of great whiskey upstairs, but insists on drinking Imperial in these videos. This brand has been described as, “A cheap, rotgut, bottom shelf booze that drunks love.”
@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria Lol! I figured he drank Crown XR or something like that! Really enjoy these videos!
I find real value in your analyses of the fakes. Thank you.
the old discolored, weathered, cracked look is beautiful, thank you!
nice love the unboxing its like opening x-mass presents
Another great unpacking video Tom.👍🏼 Can someone with your expertise authenticate the silver AH ink wells and write a COA, as well as put a solid $ value on it? What’s the value on the mint HJ knife? I would love to buy one like that.
While he is definitely an educated enthusiast, Tom is the first to admit that he is no expert on period silverware. Those sorts if things have to be vetted independently.
As for the values, I try not to discuss them here. Consignors and collectors often have WILDLY different ideas as to why things are worth, and I don't like fights breaking out.
Thanks for your many comments, XT!
Excelente video señor Wittmann, como siempre, se aprende mucho!!!
Another great video! I look forward to the next.
great video!!! keep them coming thank you
52:41 That's no eagle, that's a vulture on that blade :)
i must admit the fake dosent look miles away
Love these videos, I'm like a school kid🤣
Thank you! great Video as usual! like the Trommler sign in the back:)
Yes, they had very good posters with eye-catching design.
Mr. (Herr) Whittmann. Very nice video again. I saw a couple things (details about construction etc.) that will help me out, and there was a good amount of pure entertainment value too. Certainly you will be able to put some 'freshies' in your sock drawer as a bonus for your laborious unpacking. Thanks.
Sometimes the packing materials are better than the items in the box!
@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria i want those socks 😛
Keep up the great work Tom!!
Thank you again Tom 😀
who's the memelord?
Cool👍
Is that shrigma i see in the background on the top right
He's a fun guy.
Hyvää Joulua ryöstäjät
Ja sit valittaa muovia 🤣🤣
I really appreciate all the knowledge you have! I do not have a collection but I learn something new every video, maybe one day I'll be able to start a collection
👍👍👍
Ja nahkat 🇫🇮🤔
👍🇸🇪
Great one again👌🏻
Thank you very much, Mr. Klug.
Awesome video Sir again . :-) Take care
What are you drinking ? :)
мистер виттманн возмите меня на работу уборщиком вашего подвала я буду работать за еду и пиво

No comment section is truly complete without Herr Schmidt.
Thank You
