Hello, my name is Tom Wittmann, and welcome to Wittmann Antique Militaria

Since moving from printed catalogs to the web in 2000, this site has become a top destination for collectors around the world. We focus on Imperial German and Third Reich artifacts, especially edged weapons, the pieces that first sparked my passion in 1965.

Our reputation is built on honesty, knowledge, and integrity. Collectors return not only for authentic artifacts but also for the confidence that comes from decades of experience in the field.

Early on, information was scarce. Post-war reproductions often mixed with original pieces, and even items brought home by veterans were not guaranteed authentic. Mistakes were common and costly, and the only way forward was persistence and hands-on learning. By the 1980s, however, reference books emerged, the hobby boomed, and I made collecting my full-time work.

Every item here is hand-picked and personally described by me. I highlight strengths and flaws and often add commentary to help collectors understand each artifact. My son Robbie handles photography, and his images are some of the best in the hobby.

We stand behind every piece. Each is guaranteed original, backed with a lifetime guarantee, and can come with a Certificate of Authenticity. If an item does not meet your expectations, we will gladly accept a return within five days, minus shipping.

We also handle consignments, estate collections, and appraisals for insurance or tax purposes. Whether you are selling one item or an entire collection, we work to ensure fair value.

Our interests include daggers, swords, bayonets, armbands, helmets, insignia, medals, silverware, and more. If it is authentic, we want to see it.

With over fifty years of experience, my goal remains the same: share my passion, help collectors avoid costly mistakes and make the hobby more rewarding for everyone involved.

I look forward to assisting you and making your experience with Wittmann Antique Militaria both enjoyable and valuable.
