- In this episode of DtC Tom travels back in time to investigate a pair of daggers that may not be what they seem. Guest starring The Wreath I Got From Upstairs and Stuffy Squirrel.
I'd like to thank each and every one of you who take the time to watch DtC, and am very grateful to everyone who takes more time out of their day to comment. In a perfect world there would be endless time for either Tom or Ob to engage with everyone, but alas the world is far from perfect.
FAQ & A
Q: I have a burning question about something in the video! What should I do?!
A: An email sent directly to Tom is the best way to get your question answered, because while he most definitely reads each and every one of your comments, he hasn't quite gotten the hang of replying to them in the comment section, and is not likely to in the foreseeable future. Or ever.
You can also call him if you prefer (856-866-8733) between the hours of 9 AM and 4 PM, EST. This may be slightly more difficult because he's forever running around away from his desk, but it's worth a shot.
Q: I have a amusing anecdote, scathing criticism, or heartfelt compliment that I deeply need to express and I require / demand / long for a personalized response! What should I do?!
A: See "A" above.
Tom's email is: herrwittmann@gmail.com

Bob Johnston was my dear friend. Thank you so much for saying the kind words about him. His passing has really left a big void in my world.
I am not a collector but I love watching these for some reason, I like listening to a subject matter expert’s advice
You're a collector, you just don't know it yet.
and that is exactly how I got bit by the collecting bug.
Hey looka theee best video to DATE awesome
Beautiful, I hope to have a collection containing things such as this some day, for now, I have to stick with the smaller things as I am only 14, anyhow, Merry Christmas to you all.
wow. this was a real learning experience! never heard of a "Christmas dagger"! Now I want one!!
Merry Christmas Tom and family.
What he doesn't like his middle name Felix? Embrace it! That is my first name and I carry it with honour! I was named after my great-grandmother's brother Felix Z, who left Germany well before WW2 and married a Swiss lady, he settled down in Basel. My middle name is Engelbert, named after my dad, (not Humperdinck) , and my dad was named after my great uncle, another Engelbert, who died in WW2 (Luftwaffe Field Division unit) during army group north's retreat from Leningrad. He was shot in the neck while on patrol outside a German held munitions depot, 9 days before his 21st birthday. My grandma always had a picture of him on her nightstand. They are not forgotten! Thank you for sharing your stories and these great collector items. Wishing you and your family choicest blessings this Christmas and in the New Year! Frohe Weihnachten, Felix from Canada
thanks for the SS comparisons ...and the SA comparisons ....it really helps seeing that !
Regarding Bob ( von ) Johnston, even outside of Militaria , he was a great storyteller from his days as a cop , and of the many historical personalities he was acquainted with.
Bob was one of my closest friends. His passing has really hit hard. He was truly an original and I'm honored to have had him in my life.
Maybe in addition to the unboxing videos once a month you could do a video of you digging into the vault and talk about a few Radom interesting items.
I love these videos. I got a replication of a youth knife at a second hand store so that is my start and I might be hooked 😉
Wow,thanks for explaining all the differences with the fake dagger’s vs the real thing! Certainly helps when you have a real one on hand to do the comparison,books help but nothing is better then holding them both together.
That was very off the cuff and probably would have been better if it was a little more controlled, but Tom and Ob insist on totally unscripted videos.
A small note from a German Person. When in german words or names a ,ch' appears, for example Reich, this is not spoken ,k'. The ,ch' sound is the noise, an angry Cat makes, but slower and softer.
Well done, Tom, to reveal these fake "Christmas daggers" that are invading our hobby!
Yes it is time for a relaxing glass of "Old Barn Owl" whiskey. Someone is doing a pretty good job on the "Herder" and I have read of at least one fellow being "taken".
somebody burning money on the last SA and SS Daggers . Thank you Sir for your Honesty and explain . I did check my SS and Sa also . I am more safe now
I dont do much FF with the videos, as they are always informative and fun to watch. Hell you cant beat the Price either!!!!!!!
Hi Tomas! It's very a interesting edition. I like the "Lider" dagger. It maybe seem too simpl but it very beaty. There are others daggers and bayonets nice quallity. Merry Christmas and Happy new year for you and your family. From Russia with love.
Nice stuff. Btw that one chefs knife looking blade with the silver fitted scabbard is a Facon or "gaucho knife". More than likely from Argentina.
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ENGLAND TO MR WITTMAN, ALL OF YOUR FAMILY AND DEBBIE
Merry Christmas to you and yours my Brothers.🙏🏼🎄❤️

A great learning video. Merry Christmas gents🥃
Hi Tom, great video yet again, it's never too early for a refreshing alcoholic beverage 👍
Don't change a thing.
Great. Just got home from work. Drink. Smoke. Sit back and watch my favorite show. Merry Christmas Tom to you and yours. Don’t change Tom. Watching you inbox the stuff is half the enjoyment 👍👍
I wish you, Mr. Wittmann and family a nice Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thanks for all the great videos! With a warm greeting from Finland. 😃💚
Thomas;
I was just watching your 32nd video with that beautiful Albert Speer cigarette case. I, like you, love these items and the high end cases are a thing of beauty. I really can’t imagine you’d ever let it go unless you parted with all of them. Did you add it to your impressive collection?
I'd like to say thank you for all your content ? However I really do miss the Wittman story's ? I am very well aware that some viewers don't like them but they can always forward the video ? But for some of us we are very fortunate to still have you here and all the stories albeit extreme hardship or unbelievable amazing things with the most amazing almost unbelievable connections with history in the making ? And you Mr Wittman have managed not only to bring your joy to us but you somehow managed to stay a really nice & kind man albeit a little bit tropical ? I loved every single story and I looked forward to them ? Even the walk through your garden & your wife's crazy handbag ornaments and all the Christmas trees ??? So please please can you at least put a story in every second video ??? Afterall you are an extremely interesting caricature & I imagine that in a perfect world I would have loved to experience some of the things you have shared with your family ?
So again thanks for all the content and I would like to hear from your sons experience on your adventures ? He seems very knowledgeable and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would enjoy a story or two ?
Many blessings to you and thank you wholeheartedly
Peace James
Somebody has started on the whisky early! 😂
mr. Tom's videos are not just very entertaining but it's a learning experience like going to WW2 history college but you get to have an opportunity to buy a part of WW2 history from a real expert.
What a great surprise on a fri morning!
Looking forward to more great vids next year. Merry Christmas & Happy New year to you and your family.🎄🍾🥂
Merry Christmas Tom and family
Very useful video
Happy Christmas Time you and your whole!!! Family.. Gruß Felix From Düsseldorf Germany
Merry Christmas guys, Thanks for the vids
Guess I should watch the whole video before I comment 😂
Hi Tom, Thanks for another very enjoyable video, and thanks for sharing the news about Bob Johnston. I got along with him also and always marveled at the stuff he turned up. His research was incomparable. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you, Marie, 'Ob, and Debbie.
Merry Christmas to both Mr. Wittmann’s. This unboxing had some great variety, and some needed educational content for the questionable daggers. Those Luft tunics are awesome!
awesome educational video. Thank you for your passion and Merry Christmas
Tha Wittmann strikes again, but..... No video next week ??? Wazthat ??? We need a XMas special, an overview of some fine pieces from the Wittmann collection :-) For between the holidays !
Another great video. Happy Holidays to you guys and your family.
Herr Whittman und sohn thanks for sharing all the wonderful stuff throughout the year and I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you guys a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! Keep the amazing content coming!!!!!
Thank You Mr. Wittmann
Always Enjoy Your Videos
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Tom and family… enjoy your vids immensely keep up the great work🎄🎄🎄🎄
If you ever start doing your lectures again NSDAP party pins would be an interesting topic
Great information as always thank you. Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄🎅
Merry Christmas Mr Wittman!
Merry Christmas Wittmann ! I really enjoy your videos ! Looking forward to another great year of your cellar videos buddy !!
Excellent education as always Tom! Merry Christmas to you and your entire family!
Great video Tom, Merry Christmas and all the best to you and your Family!
Merry Christmas !
14:42 Remember those trusses they sold at the back of Popular Mechanics? 😃
VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS to you all Tom
Grüße aus Leipzig Ihnen auch schöne Weihnachten ⛄️🎄👍
Merry Xmas ✌🏽, this is ganna be a good video
Merry Christmas, Wittmann Team!!!
Lol, the soyjacks and coomers on the wall behind Mr. Wittman. Did not expect to see those. Are they drawings from fans?
Did I miss the ritual cigar lighting and cocktail sip?
Scary fake daggers there at the end! Can catch anyone who is in a hurry. What does Wittmann do with these daggers? Send them back to the seller or throw them in the canal / Trashbin ?
Personally I'd love to toss them into the bin, but Tom just sends them back to the owner.
WW2 German military it's an investment 100% ,I remember back in the guns shows in the 1980s you could buy a nice Luger or German daggers in the lows hundreds today it's in the thousands of dollars and every year they just keep going up, the only thing is there's lots of fakes out there so you have to buy from someone like Tom you know your getting the real deal your not going to get scammed.
If its worth unwrapping then it's worth a bit of time. The tunics and documents were not given enough time in my view. Variety is a great quality of this channel but please give each object equal detail. We can see hundreds of daggers here but tunics are a rarer treat.
Best one yet Tom. Merry Christmas.
Happy 2002!
How about doing a video of proper disassembly method of a dagger?
I looked all through your webpage and I couldn't find any SS Daggers do you have any for sale and exactly what heading
would they be under ?
>2002
>SA Daggers ~$250
>SS Daggers ~$500
IM GONNA... IM GONNA.... IM GONNA COOOOOM
Smoking, drinking, looking at 3rd Reich items. Now THAT'S a party!
Thomas;
With the rare daggers and swords you pulled today, unboxing them should be your last complaint. Happy holiday’s to you and your family! Are your cigars the lite or darker wrapped cigars?
Tom, do you think you'll win the Christmas pool tournament this year??
Super vid.I thought someone sent you 3 giant size Del.Nobili cigars. And they were swords.
