Great swords, cheers gents🥃

[@mabbrey]

well done tom

[@kellyphillips9770]

Two! Just two quick worries to share: 1) Start wearing gloves when handling this stuff. 2).Gotta start not cutting into those boxes. We will one day see it cut through something, besides the box, eventually.

[@rocco74superhuman45]

I have always pleasure to watching this video unboxing ;-) With your Knowledge about this items and the History , Its always something to learn new. I was wondering, if you get my email about on selling some off my collection . I did sending you Pictures with the SS chain Dagger a NSKK Chain Dagger and others .

[@brittakriep2938]

The reason , that Jäger zu Pferd had metal versions of Helmet with point ( Helm mit Spitze, Pickelhaube was no official term), was that Jäger zu Pferd became in 1880s a new branch of german cavallry, the first troopers came from other branches, including cuirassiers or saxon heavy Reiter. In this decade german cavallry was transformed into ,Einheitskavallerie' standardized cavallry, you see this in the fact, that every trooper, not only Ulanen, got a lance. This means, the cavallry units kept their traditional names and uniforms, but weaponry and training became more similar. The mounted messengers never rode directly to trenches, this was done by men on foot, socalled Meldegänger, for example the Charlie Chaplin of Braunau.

[@kellyphillips9770]

Confirmed! Ahb likes the SS dagger.

[@gebox2637]

Chained SS WOW!!!

[@donaldfischer1428]

That standard holder was for a horse.

[@joegerich641]

What is the leather finger holder on the sword hilt for?

[@klaustrumputin-trudeau4142]

Your finger of course!

[@ghosted2187]

#48 AMAZING! You guy's are the best hands down.

[@stuartjames1200]

Wouldn't the broken tip of the Imperial Saxon sword likely indicate that the owner fell in combat?

[@petewarrell3734]

Probably a kid goofing around with it

[@klaustrumputin-trudeau4142]

Perhaps forced to surrender.

[@gebox2637]

I wonder if all that SS stuff belonged to the same soldier

[@6omega2]

You sure that's not an SS cape, instead of a diplomatic one? Usually when the leading (top) feather of the eagle is shorter than the rest, that's SS.

[@michaeldellinger8481]

That's a nice video let me know when you get some more German tunics

[@simonworrall7950]

The Russian medal is the Order of the Great Patriotic War

[@mike_k.]

Damastahl isnt damascus steel. Its not folded steel its just etched plain blade. Pre WWII damascus swords had etched "Echt damast / damascener"

[@akejohansson2860]

Great content👍What is your drink Mr Wittman? North Sweden

[@klaustrumputin-trudeau4142]

I will answer on his behalf, Imperial whiskey and diet Pepsi.

[@xkmendlt4290]

Great vid👍🏼 That SS chained dagger proves there are always premium items coming into the collector market.
