"We have sold a ton of videos over the years, and now that the VHS tape has become passe' we are converting our library to DVD. Hopefully this more durable format will allow our films to be enjoyed for generations to come. The "teaching" portions of our videos cover most sword and dagger types, as well as live clips from various militaria shows that I've attended over the years. I really enjoy this archival show footage, as it is an excellent chance to see some truly outstanding pieces, as well as those "way-back-then" prices. In addition to the artifacts, the cast of characters is amazing. Hobbyists, collectors, dealers... Who knows, maybe even you! It is the people in these films that truly make the hobby special. Some of todays well known dealers can be glimpsed on camera, many barely out of thier childhood!
As well as instructional and live show footage, we have films of my trips to Germany and Austria. My wife and I visit 3rd Reich buildings and sites across Europe, not to mention the museums, castles and beer halls! and There are visits to Nuremburg, Berchtesgarten, Munich, Vienna... Each one shot from the point of view of an avid, life long 3rd Reich collector. Hopefully you will enjoy watching them as much as I enjoyed making them, and have fun flicking your remote!"
