Thanks you Tom.👍

[@dunkirchen1940]

That SA dagger is probably one of the nicest I have seen! Very nice!

[@andyeveritt9003]

really enjoy your great stories tom all the best

[@aftershock2222]

I always enjoy your stories from back in the day. Keep them coming.

[@johnhayes9547]

Love the early stories Tom. I remember my first Fair in the UK when I was around 10. Walked in with my Mum ( under duress) and saw for the first time German Tunics hanging on hangers…hooked. I don’t collect German as I collect Royal Air Force, but the interest will never diminish. Thanks for the videos

[@ghosted2187]

Thank you Tom for another great video. I enjoy hearing the stories.

[@collinblubaugh3094]

Great video. I enjoyed every bit. More to come. Thank you

[@DavidHuber63]

I like you're stories Tom, great camera work Rob! 👍 ❤

[@donavantew8278]

Brother I just love this channel, your a good man and you inspire us all, God bless, your friend from dixieland, Donavan Tew

[@ngkouki5400]

Don't worry about guys who complain that you talk too much, your stories and experience is the field is information worth sharing and priceless. It's always good to know the history behind the hobby, especially one as niche as this one.

[@carlosruiz-ib5xm]

I always enjoy the stories of your life and experiences in the military collecting.

[@simoncooper913]

30/40% stories. 60/70% unboxing. I love learning from your past. Right and wrong is great. But, your history is priceless. Brilliant as ever!

[@jimrutherford2773]

I like to hear your stories and the history of the early days of collecting. Knowing the history of our hobby is as important as the history of the items themselves.

[@janfast4712]

Amazing stories. Thanks a lot Tom

[@Adrian-uc4ox]

Thank you for Down In The Cellar series, amazing items, so much history,

[@sysop007]

I’ll never forget going to gun shows in the late 70’s/early 80’s with my dad and the militaria was always super cool for me. The flags hanging up and mannequins and uniforms and daggers and bayonets. I always wanted a H youth knife as a kid, never got one. The gun shows back then were a very big deal and I always loved going.

[@johnburrows1179]

Oh I remember the 1960s and 70 s Tom. You could buy an original SS helmet out of a Sports Afield magazine for $19.95! Daggers. Bayonets. Tunics. But back then it was all still too fresh. Most people were like who the hell wants a Nazi helmet lol. Same with guns K98s. I enjoy your videos immensely Tom. I wish someday, you guys could come to SW Florida. You guys would be sold out. Have a great day

[@edwardbanta4114]

[@gerat2576]

Thx for the sunday evening entertainment. Greeting from germany.

[@rickbrown8108]

Seems like most your viewers, like me, enjoy the stories and appreciate the history of the hobby. For those guys that just want to see items they could go online and look at pictures then

[@larryburwell8550]

I had to stop the video and comment. I remember the 70s and all and Charlie Snyder and the greenbelt Maryland show. He was about as nice as a alligator at feeding time. Ok back to your video lol

[@xkmendlt4290]

Great story about early collecting.👍🏼

[@kennethrouse7942]

I can remember when "Dr. Stan" introduced us to each other at a show in King of Prussia, PA circa 1985! 👍😎

[@OUT9]

Outstanding thanks l

[@JB-tq1sl]

You know it's funny Tom every time you take a drink while I watch your show I take a drink I just need to smoke some cigarettes in my house LOL keep up the work thank you you're the best

[@larryburwell8550]

Great video. Some really great items. Every box isn't a chained ss

[@tonymorano204]

Is Charlie Snyder still alive? I worked his table back in the 70’s at Greenbelt Armory. He was something else. Tony

[@johnlawson2984]

He passed a few years back.

[@MrTruckerf]

no

[@csaint6780]

[@MyPhilw]

[@madaboutmilitaria3630]

[@skigdividerx4991]

Love the stories!! That DS can go fly a kite!

[@jimrutherford2773]

My first piece of militaria I ever collected was in 1974. A US sailor gave me his hat insignia. I was 9 years old. The next year I got my first WW2 German collectible, a sleeve insignia for a fire brigade. I still have them both.

[@aaronedwards9181]

Hey Mr Wittman. It's Aaron in NC...we've talked a few times by Email about my J.A Schmidt amd Son SA dagger. Just wanted to say the guy who complained about you "talking too much" can go watch something else. Those of us who watch your UnBoxing videos look forward to your stories and anecdotes as much (if not more) the actual items.

[@MB-hv3ic]

los tambores de las HJ. guauuuuuu !😲

[@williamhavens1249]

I like the talking you do I find it Fascinating

[@euroyank860]

Even in tropical conditions the Witt Mann knows to entertain his international audience ! Now will we see him play the drums the next episode ? Will the Lady of the House ever sleep again when he practices his new percussion skills ? Greetings from Europe !!

[@MrTruckerf]

HAHA!😆

[@jdog8875]

Happy birthday!

[@martinashton5792]

Love the Cat story 🐈

[@MrTruckerf]

And 24-hour armed guard was Bayonet Bob sleeping under his table because he couldn't afford a hotel room.

[@darrellenglish2704]

Albany,NY show back in the 70's Chuck Skaglion, Ray Zyla,

[@rjb6327]

You would think it was fine china, the way they wrap those items. 25:50 I'm watching your face, when you open that big box and you look like a kid on Christmas morning.

[@DavidHuber63]

Are the beautiful drawings of "humans"?, hanging on the wall behind Tom for sale?👍

[@mikewinkelman7015]

I've got one with wire hanger bent just like that

[@mikehelms3063]

No you don't talk to much, love you stories, especialy from the early days of dagger collecting, 20$ for an HJ knife, man.... Question: I already heard it sometime but what excactly is an Jim Atwood dagger? Greetings from the Netherlands. Mike

[@MrJonathandcrow]

Remember You Could Buy At Military Surplus Stores And All Your Department Stores

[@thilgu]

Another nice episode. Thanks Wittmann! Do you notice a decrease in sales from Europe with the USD becoming waaay too expensive?

[@maakjar]

Poor Ob not feeling well. Miss his comments. Get well soon

[@johnlawson2984]

Bayonet Pete, that guy had a quart of oil in his hair! 🙄

[@felixortmann5174]

Sir what IS your Favorit dagger?.

[@dirlevoscar8588]

always a little bit strong...what a uncle ..these stories

[@allenj4kite]

Ah the seventies. I remember them well… Donna Summer. Abba, and scarily realistic reproductions! 😂

[@MrTruckerf]

I would like a scarily realistic reproduction of a 1970s Donna Summer!

[@MuchachoMilitaria]

✌

[@jimrutherford2773]

I'm not familiar with HJ drums but how can you confirm they are true HJ drums? Is there a book on drums of the 3rd Reich?

[@michaeldellinger8481]

My birthday is tomorrow On Monday

[@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria]

I hope you have the happiest possible birthday, Michael. We are very lucky to have you as a viewer.

[@michaeldellinger8481]

@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria thanks

[@jengasauce9597]

Tom, I gotta say, towards the guy who doesn't care about what you say, is a guy who doesn't appreciate the history of what you sell. You can't know why and how such an object is sold for without understanding why it's sold for so much

[@JohnnyLandscape]

Second hand smoke is hard on the non smoker.

[@MrTruckerf]

No non-smokers in the room there.

[@jonbush2370]

$25 in 1975' was about $138.00 in today's money.

[@MrTruckerf]

In 1975 I worked in a factory for a few months at $3.91 per hour. Starting wage there today is $18/hr. So,you are probably pretty close in your figure.

[@JB-tq1sl]

What's the matter of he's passing out give him something cold drink the camera is all over the place I think he needs a seat lol

[@DCdrumz59]

How many time has this guy dropped a bit of hot ash on to an item from that stupid dry cured cigar??? Not too smart.
