I wouldn't say the owner was happy with the way you recived the painting, I sincerely hope he valued it at the post office but to me it looks priceless 😩
That painting is not a goner! Take a high quality scan or photo of the painting as flat as you can get it, and with photo shop i can in fact get that crease out and save the image itself.
Very good for people to see this! People often try to save money on shipping by packing lightly. This is a huge mistake! Spend the money and ship properly! The last item that I shipped to Russia, made it fine. $80.00 to ship seemed expensive, but building a safe package ensures safety!
As always, a very interesting video. Keep them coming! I would think that someone who specializes in art restoration would be able to repair that painting but it would cost the owner a few $$. I have seen that artillery etch once before, an absolutely stunning blade!
I just ordered a $1200 fez from wittman and they just threw it in a soft bubble wrap envelope. Not even in a box. Maybe wittman should ship their goods more securely. Thankfully it did arrive securely, but I couldn't believe they shipped nearly a $1200 fez in a bubble wrap envelope. Ironic. So thankful it wasnt damaged. I got lucky because it could have been ripped or damaged in that bubble wrap envelope.
I saw it on the website. It is a good original Fez. I own one as well. But that seems quite dangerous! Imagine you live in Europe or Australia. It can be damaged!
@@thilgu I had been wanting a fez for quite some time! I got very lucky it wasnt damaged. When I saw it in an envelope I was so worried. I got very lucky, no damage!
I'm a potter and shipping is a nightmare. The bayonet Tom sent, the tip poked a small hole in box...no damage. Wouldn't mention it yet the video covered package mishandling.
cosign. He sells them on his website. Keep 20% fee. The rest goes to the collector. His prices are quite high so the collector gets a good deal instead of selling it himself.
I have some old German daggers my dad brought back from ww2 has markings 2 has a skull ss markings with eagles on globe others has eagle & globe. 1 is very ornate has gold markings on blade. I often wondered how much their worth, i found this channel researching them
@@WarStoryRu Oh okay, I wish you well in you collecting journey! I have recently gotten a Gauleiter Car Pennant and I do not know if it is real, would Tom Wittmann know?
Alex I have an extremely rare item (sword) I would like to sell discreetly for a clinet of mine. Can you please advise how do I reach out to you privately? Cheers...
Alex another fantastic video very informative I love it when you and Thomas get together and I watch all of your videos, well the ones in English please keep it up it makes my day...
Omg I've been watching this channel for a few weeks now but only just seen the subs count and can't believe it. I expected at least 500k, well it will be soon that's for sure.
Thank you Alex, yes these videos are fantastic keep up the good work. Jeffery Richards collector
To be completely honest, All of the Third Reich, (Nazi) stuff should all be melted down or burned!
Things happen for reason, never forget that!
GOD smashed the box!

Good luck dealing with USPS on a damaged item like that.
Another great video Alex. Thank you. Some beautiful etched pieces.

A good painting restorer should be able to fix that.
Something that rare and valuable should of been boxed properly
Tolles Video Danke

Lookie there, personally I like Chassepot and Indian enfield bayonets.

So collectors send you items for valuation? Or is these items that you have purchased and forgotten what you bought?
cosign. He sells them on his website. Keep 20% fee. The rest goes to the collector. His prices are quite high so the collector gets a good deal instead of selling it himself.
Never send anything usps.
Nice
I really love these videos with you and thomas! You are a great duo of knowledge!
These are very good 👍🏻
Another great vid..Thanks to both.
Oh yeah. Gotta package stuff very carefully.
Just wondering if you might have any 1917 US Enfield bayonets? And not at way to crazy prices...like over 125.00 US??
i would like to hang out with these guys for a day.
Never no what could be in the box! Hope the other box was insured! As always great video!
Good video ...like unpacking video 👍
I'm needing a scabbard for a k98 dress etched bayonet any help will be appreciated

Can you show me pictures? Alexsilchenko@gmail.com
@@WarStoryRu yes'sir
breaks my damn heart
It may be damaged but since the items destroyed by usps idiocy it’s still valuable .
👍🏻
Yes, good video's.
You like to use the word liberate, I noticed.
Collectors from England like use this word when they are talking about war souvenirs
@@WarStoryRu Oh okay, I wish you well in you collecting journey! I have recently gotten a Gauleiter Car Pennant and I do not know if it is real, would Tom Wittmann know?
Thank you Thomas and see you next time!
So ein Päckchen hätt ich auch gern
Смотрел на русском и на английском языке но с удовольствием просмотрел ещё раз
Isn't it if you 'DON'T' want to destroy them? i'm just confused a little ;)
Alex was being sarcastic , what's not to understand?
@@DeadChavez Oh lol right yeah, i mean it was probably late and my english isn't that good so ;). Btw nice odalrune on your picture from yt !

I just found this channel and find it very interesting. I’d love to buy a hitler youth knife but I’m afraid of getting a fake.

This gear belongs in Germany, so not in Yankee doolde state.

It's like Christmas every day @ Thomas's.
So who is liable for the damaged items??????
That's the 2nd time Hitler's been a gonner.
