The name on the holster for the 1934 Mauser was the name and the rank. Oberleutnant Hufschmidt. This a First Lieutenant.
At 6:25: "In the Army, they don't care about your pinky." So true. I was a SGT in the USA, and sometimes on a field training exercise, you didn't even get dinner. That's why I made sure to do a little shopping in a German grocery store before we deployed. Brotchen, pepper salami, good cheese and chocolate. Plus Esbit fuel for your Esbit stove. The Cold War...good times.
As a German, it just cracks me up how you use "waffenstamp" as both a noun and a verb :D
I know right? And in English we don't address our tableware by the sex of the piece we're using. You know, die , das und der. We are just savages.
you know Tom there's a solution to storage space issues it's called BUY ANOTHER SAFE!!!
I had the 7.65 Beretta at one time. Should have kept it I suppose. Those little Berettas have the extractor top dead center. They throw the brass straight up in the air and often come down on your head. Thus wear a cap when shooting.
Its his rank, last name an his service number, he was a Lieutenant colonel so most likely a commanding officer who surrendered his gun when he surrendered the Unit he was commanding
Anyone who doesn't have an appreciation for the Polish Radom Viz needs to have their head examined. Such great pieces.
it's a bastard copy of the 1911!!! why go for a poor imitation when you can go for the original!!
@@keithmoore5306 Vis is not a copy of 1911, if anything it's a copy (though not really, too) of Browning Hi-Power with local twist that makes it a unique weapon on it's own... There was a reason why it was third most common handgun in German armed forces after P08 and P38...
there are some 1911 inspirations, true, but it disassembles differently and again - it has more to do with Browning Hi-Power than Colt.
I know - 1911 and Hi-Power were both designed by the Prophet of Force Equalization, and they are by themselves very similar - but this is the path the Vis took. That and one of the Vis designers was also a fan of 1911. So maybe it is a 1911 copy ;-)
The difference is that competitive shooters seem to really like Vis - build quality makes it a desired item.
Wow Tom I guess the spelling police are after you for your pronounceacion of a foreign language.
Anyway I do believe your boobtube channel is great for keeping the interest in this great history.
I love that Viz.
It's not really "spelling police," but rather people trying to politely correct someone on pronunciation. I'm no expert, I only speak English, but I do know how to pronounce Waffen and Walther as best as I can. Heckler & Koch for example is very difficult for me to pronounce as an English speaker, but I make an attempt at it.
@@robertl426 he's speaking to Americans, not Germans. If he was speaking to a room full of Germans, I could understand where you're coming from.
@@joshuagibson2520 He's not just speaking to Americans, he's speaking to anyone interested in the subject from all over the world, myself included. I don't mind "Walther" so much (due to Bond movies), but I'm sure you can pronounce "waffen" in the German way yourself.
Mauser N° 590421 , The owner was named First Lieutenant Hufschmidt,
The number F. P. No. 02078 means field post number 02078
The number 02078 means 196th Infantry Division
thanks for showing 🙂👍
Thanks for another great video Tom!
Great video!

In the last few years WW2 items and guns have become very popular and more expensive, unfortunately there's been lots of fakes and you have to be very careful who you buy from or sell your collection - legacy collectibles is the place to go to they're 100% honest they have super nice people working there and you know your getting the real deal.
excelente video!!!!!!! gracias Tom
This was a great collection of Axis Power handguns. Most of these were obviously museum quality. Yes, I agree with Tom. These handguns should not be fired very often for obvious reasons. There are plenty of channels on You Tube that have people firing these firearms for our entertainment.
VERY BEAUTIFUL GUN'S......Thanks Tom.......
Old Navy Shoe =F-4 Phantom 2 🇺🇸
Estella in Astra holster, is a town of Vasc Country in Spain. Probably where the gun was made. There is a guns and others types of arms industry for years. Nice vid. Thanks
Thank you Tom
Some of these guns were costars on tv shows…..
The Mauser automatic was the first Man from Uncle gun, but the producers felt that gun wasn’t photogenic (some felt it got lost when the attachments were added) so they decided to go with the Walther P38, and the rest was tv history.
The Star guns sometimes showed up on episodes of Mission Impossible, especially the 700 model…
Works of art.
Thank you for another great video! If I had been a German serviceman in WW2, I think I would have been very disappointed to be issued with an Astra, which looks like a Spud Gun rather than an iconic P08, P38, PP or PPK😂
lovely stuff tom well done
The only twin I'd get next to my Beretta 34 made in '66 would be a Romanian contract "9mm Scurt" version from WWII. Our Italian cousins contracted 60k of them to the Romanian government, although only 40k were delivered (I believe).
I just bought one of those.
How about an Italian 9mm Corto WWII version?
@@robertl426 My 1966 model is labeled "9mm Corto". The only WWII-era one I'd want is a Romanian contract.
@@Plata-ori-plumbu Ahh so your 1966 model Is Italian, got it.
Another great video! Must be nice to go to work every day! So jealous! Keep up with the great work!
I wonder, does he need an assistant?
Great information and well done video!
Love the Radom viz tom
That Viz is killer. Would love to see more videos on that one. Looks kinda like a 1911.
Yeah. You need to look into the Radom Viz. Awesome pieces.
It's "ViS", not "ViZ".
@@abeldanos2029 whatever.... people get the point.
That's because it was designed after the high power.
Have a 4UT Beretta M1934 with a serial number (6149xx) very near what I understand to be the end of German occupation production. Exterior finish is unbelievably rough. Almost looks in places like it was finished with a file. Functionality is excellent but rough finish looks like no other Beretta I have ever seen.
Is it parkerized by any chance? I believe that was done with late war Beretta's. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
I have the exact beretta,4/ut,1944,I love it,nice to see them,wondering the serial range of the ones you have shown
If this was a beauty contest the two 1934/35 beretta’s are in a league of their own.
It is sad that in Canada ALL handguns, regardless of condition, make, or rarity, are now paperweights. They can't be sold, purchased, transferred, or inherited.
Are the Mausers considered "drop safe"?
more than certain sigs!!!
I've no doubt you're aware of this, but Waffen in German, is pronounced similar to the English V sound. It's more like Vaffen than Waffen.
Would you like a tissue for your tears?
@@joshuagibson2520 No tears, so no tissues needed. A historical firearms expert should know how to pronounce "waffen" is all I'm saying, and I tried my best to be polite about it.
As ruthless as the SS were there's no telling how many innocent people were murdered with these guns
I have a beretta 1934 that is finished in nickel do you think the finish was done in the states ?
G
Great little collection there. Friendly critic here, slow down with the manipulation of the firearms so it isnt so jarring. Always looking forward to a new video.
For me Astra is the best.👍👌✌
Tom, just curious….what do you shoot when you go to the range ?
He doesn't go very much and I give him shit about it all the time. In his defense he has to travel an hour or more to go to a range.
Definitely a luger, PP, and PPK
I told my wife that I wanted to get some Nazi guns and memorabilia to pass down to my daughter who loves history and she said it’s OK as long as we can keep them hidden so no one sees them, I understand the statement but I wish people could understand appreciating some thing for the historic value it’s not that you’re representing what they did but to own something from that time in history is unreal
Ничего не понятно из ролика, двадцать минут крутить в руках два одинаковых пистолета
I just want to smoke one with Tom Whiteman before I die.
