Down the Cellar 37 - Sunday Short

A little shorter today, for a change. Partly because not everyone has an hour plus to invest in watching Tom open boxes, and partly because the "infallible" oracle Youtubus Algorithmus seemed to dislike some of the content this time.
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:
[e-mail]
An email sent directly to Tom at the address above is the best way to get your question answered, because while he most definitely reads your comments, he hasn't quite gotten the hang of replying to them in the comment section.

Take your time Mr. Wittmann, those of us that are adults enjoy the stories, the anticipation and the beautiful things.

[@johnlawson2984]

Opening the boxes is part of the fun, it’s like Christmas morning, don’t change a thing! 👍

[@Paranormal-Alien]

I really cant express enough how therapeutic watching your videos are to me I am 39 yrs. old and suffer from ptsd. and you are the only thing I can watch that brings my anxiety down and makes me feel normal everything else is too intense and people's motives are selfish and come across as desperate for the likes and thumbs up and you whom has CLASS never even mentions or asks for it and boy ol boy is that refreshing to see! God Bless you sir and all that you do.

[@victorstrozier929]

Tom, the cigar and cocktail ritual is a classic. Everybody is copying you now, but you are the master. Do not change a thing!

[@MuchachoMilitaria]

Just be yourself Mr Wittmann. 99.9% of us love the anticipation of the unwrapping!!!

[@George19977]

Brilliant video as per. Mr Wittmann is a living legend. One of the reasons I’m attending the SOS next year travelling all the way from London. I hope I have the privilege to meet him!

[@joshuastroyer9662]

I enjoyed this very much, thank you guys

[@arthurknox4553]

Take your time, I dont like drinking alone.

[@franciscoj5100]

Fantastic pieces, have a good sunday Sir

[@JCOwens-zq6fd]

Im a sword guy so this one was right up my alley. Though the Germans called the straight ones "Degen"/Sword & the curved ones "Säbel"/Sabre. There is a difference in western sword terminology.

[@shawns2203]

Love the unboxing format you guys keep up the great videos. Also the videos are never too long!

[@barryjones8145]

Don't change a thing Mr Whittman love the video's

[@Saschkes]

Vielen Dank Mr. Wittmann, i love your videos ... i'm collecting Militaria items too, but in a much smaller way... i collect original and repro items of the first and second world war, many medals, mostly helmets, the original ones are often unfortunately only finds in the ground, you find them mostly on ebay in auctions, which certainly are already a bit rusty... 🙄...but wtf...

[@felixortmann5174]

Thats the best on a sunday thank you again.. Sir

[@darronthomas212]

Great videos SS chained Wow!!!

[@darrellenglish2704]

SS Tab is for Army or Luft personal transferred to Concentration Camp duty

[@butzbach1]

And thank you. I’m a collector of stuff and knives are a favorite. I MUST have something SS. I’m not an asshole but appreciate the history. I’d be happy with one.

[@chriscooperkris2780]

As always Tom an excellent presentation with a great rhetorical performance that would put Plato to shame...keep up the good work

[@raivonraj]

Hi Mr. Wittmann. I follow your videos with great interest. To the point. About 8 minutes into this section, an SS sword is shown, where various details are made of steel. So I wonder if it is also known that there are original parts such as pommel and crossguard made of steel, for example an F.W.Holler dagger? I and others, look forward to new "cell sections"

[@scottfaulder4690]

Massive WWII history buff here. I also enjoy collecting historical items from the war. How do I known reputable sellers compared to bad sellers? How can I be sure I am buying real vs fake?

[@madaboutmilitaria3630]

More great stuff, thanks guys. Take as long as you want🥃🇦🇺

[@YouTubeIsCriminal]

11:56 Very similar to my grandfathers war bring back I ended up with.

[@chrisalan3699]

If you dont mind doing it, I think most folks like things the way they are...👌

[@dondoyle8474]

To long BS that’s what makes your show. Take your time 👍👍

[@simoncooper913]

Brilliant guys!! More more more!!!!!

[@cheapolegunguy]

It's got to be 5:00 somewhere, Prosit! :-)

[@JB-tq1sl]

Every time you salute me with your drink I have a drink in my hand to 90% of time of soda with alcohol or a glass of tall glass of cold milk with ice salute brother

[@jimrutherford2773]

Do not change a thing in your videos. Leave the entire unboxing in your videos, including walking to the back to retrieve the box, cutting it open, pulling out the packaging material, unwrapping the item. There's really nothing like it on youtube dealing with militaria. I like it best when there's zero editing because you know there's no shenanigans.

[@johnmakin4337]

My father fought with patent in France and Germany he brought home two brand new prayed bayonets and a Luftwaffe badge I imagine went on ahead I would love to find one of those badges and purchase it I know I couldn’t afford bayonets he give them to me when I was too young and I just got rid of them I regret that

[@andyeveritt9003]

great video Tom dont change a thing all the best

[@rogerdee.926]

JoergSprave on KZbin has an interesting show on his grandfathers SS Dagger ,some history, some modern daggers by original makers, an insightful overview... Australia June 28, well into winter here.

[@ericsackman6896]

You better not change anything please l love the way your doing this. Don't listen to the Karen's

[@michaelbronsteijn8492]

❤️

[@jeffmccoy1864]

Being a relatively new collector, I've wondered to what degree blade runner marks affect the condition rating. Can a blade be rated NM with pronounced runner marks? Appreciate your comment's.

[@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria]

That is really a matter of taste. To some people the slightest imperfection makes a piece worthless, while others accept or even appreciate the normal characteristics of wear.

[@dirlevoscar8588]

that general...oh, boy

[@thilgu]

Stunning chained SS.

[@thiemebenjamin4333]

Schade das nicht alles gezeigt wird 🙄😐

[@uncleTedK]

What’s the story on the wojacks on the wall?

[@rurouniceres]

Ths Mr Wittmann, but what happened with the all items??

[@Paranormal-Alien]

PS Love the content and not to disrespect AI and its calculations I cant agree with that assertion or algorithmic interjection because that simply is not accurate. However AI know that I love you and am your friend lol .
