Attending the big shows for many collectors is for finding pieces for their collections, meeting with friends in the hobby, and just have a great 'Bro-fest', with like minded buddies whom you enjoys sharing a drink and a story with.
However, there are also hobby seminars held and if there should be one on the topic of your interest, there is info in there that can't be found in books or in forums.
Since I'm a dagger collector I attended this one held by Tom Wittmann at the MAX show in 2015. As Tom was working on the narrative part of his forthcoming book on 'Exploring the German SA Dagger', he wanted to give a preview and educational seminar on little known facts on the SA dagger. The video was recorded but then seemed to have been misplaced, now found again, and it was posted on Tom's website today.

Although the sound has some echo and the quality is not 'Hollywood', if your into SA daggers there is info here that you will not find anywhere else, until the SA book is published (I don't know the release date).
It's almost 2 hours long. However, it didn't feel like that when I attended. It felt like 20 minutes had passed and there was so much more I wanted to hear.
This is for those that asked on a old thread if there was a video recording of it. YES ! Here it is. Hope you guys don't get bored with details about 'squiggly-wigglies'.
