    Hi sir, intresting video as always; i recognised the first "unknown axis hanger" you shown, it is from an officer of the Croatian free state 1941-1945. I dont know the branch, it depends by the color of the brocade backing. The army ones should be grey, this appears dark green or blue, it might be some branch of Police i suppose.

    Another great video with three beautiful swords! The mint condition ROON is a beauty, the engraved blue panel NCO from Calvary Regiment 10 needs to be showcased on a pair of sword stands but the Imperial lion head is just 🤩 stunning!! Pre 1914 Imperial swords are the apex of the Solingen sword industry and they don’t always get the appreciation that they deserve. That one is truly a work of art. One or both of the named individuals must have graduated from the Anklam military academy in 1888.
    Keep the show and unboxing videos!

    Sorry to say that but this isn't a war time polish dagger (23:00). This is a post war PRL (Polish People's Republic) period air force dagger. Late 70s or 80s I would say. The original eagle on the grip was somehow removed and the "scared chicken" is re-added to it. Anyway, great video and stuff too. Cheers from Poland.

    • @WittmannAntiqueMilitaria
      @WittmannAntiqueMilitaria  2 года назад +4

      This is a very good idea. Tom has a kind of basic, "old school" attitude towards maintenance (which is no surprise, as he's old) but I have to say it works. There are simple things you can do that will prolong the life of your collection and they would make for a good video. Thank you, thilgu!

    • @WittmannAntiqueMilitaria
      @WittmannAntiqueMilitaria  2 года назад +3

      The research update is a very good idea! There are items that definitely need to be vetted very thoroughly, both to learn the history as well as to be absolutely sure they aren't humped up junk.

    The badges at 26:00 are "N.S. Students-Union (or Association) Fighting-Aid" (black/white, top one), "N.S. Elders Federation of the german students" (black/white, right one), the golden with the arrow is hard to read, "For service in the L.H." or "For service in the C.H.", don't know if it's an L or a C.
    Oh, the text on the goblet around 42:30 "For the Feldwebel (Sergeant) Karl Maim (...) for special merit as commander of the Stormtank (Sturm-Panzerwagen) in the ?Aifuu-Mavrin Castle?Summer 1918" Sorry, couldn't read the Name of the location between the "?" properly, hope I got the rest approximately.
    The little fork afterwards is a cake fork, my mother's got some of these, the larger tooth is to part a piece of the cake, then eat it.
    The swrod at 47:25 is absolutely stunning, never seen something like that, and in that condition. Brilliant.
