  • Well collectors, here we are again!
    Ob was really under the weather this time around; looks like someone at the last show must have vigorously coughed on him.
    But the show must go on as Tom has little (well, no) patience for malingering; the health insurance plan at WAM consists a bottle of Imperial and a box of tissues, both of which are deducted from your pay.
    BOILERPLA... ER, GENERAL INFO:
    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 even more time out of their day to comment. In a perfect world Tom or Ob would be able to engage with everyone in the comment section, but alas the world is far from perfect. Tom doesn't know how (and refuses to learn) and Ob is a major Luddite paralyzed by techno-fear.. He's convinced his phone is spying on him.
    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. Seriously, he still calls RUclips "the U-TOOBZ". Just email him, srsly.
    Tom's personal email is: herrwittmann@gmail.com
    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 an 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.
    Again, Tom's email is: herrwittmann@gmail.com

    Tom, I have been in this hobby for 65 years and, as you know, was partners with Tom Johnson for over 20 years, and have looked at and bought hundreds of collections and this is the first Railways Water Protection i have seen that is a "one looker". What an impressive piece! Thank you for showing it to us.

    Dear Ob,
    You need a good hot toddy:
    50ml Whisky
    Teaspoon of honey
    Teaspoon of lemon juice
    500ml paracetamol
    30mg Codeine or other opiate of preference
    240ml boiling water

    I think the Hoster cross guard looks different than the Alcoso-The Hoster wings do not seem as bulky as the Alcoso eventhough their engraving look very similar. I king of like the look of The Hoster piece over The Alcoso; but this also could be distortion from the video.

    That WW1 "trench knife" was also manufactured in 1917 as well. I've read that the 1918 version suffered from an adnormally high amount of broken blades as reported by soldiers these trench knives were issued to. Actually, both versions had issues with blades easily being broken. It's a rare piece none the less and I've seen those go for $1300 - $1400 range if not more. There should be markings on the knife, A.C. Co. or L.F. & C. For the record, A.C. Co. is the rarer of the marks. The scabbard might have marks such as H.E. / M.S. / JEWELL - 1918? I am not sure but I do believe that "triangle" blade is now illegal to use. Not 100% sure about that. I could be totally wrong. The documentary I watched on these trench weapons that a triangle blade causes a very difficult wound to treat. Wittman, that trench knife is going to sell VERY QUICKLY. A little back story on the 1917 version is that it was the 1st offically US adapted knife, but proved to be unsatisfactory in service, so a second version was quickly designed and issued and that being the 1918 version. Both models are identical other than, the design / construction of the knuckle guard being different between the models. There are two gems in your video today and thats those engraved crossguards, and secondaly, that WW1 1918 trench knife. Those are indeed RARE.

    Fact about getting the common cold / flu or worse, is that it mostly comes from touching something and then rubbing your eyes, eating with your hands, touching your mouth. I was married to an RN for a handful of years. Always always carry a small bottle of hand sanatizer in your pocket and when you open a public door, before you eat out, pump gas, use an ATM, pay for something where you swipe your card, you NEED ... NEED to sanatize your hands afterwards. This will save many of you from getting sick. Many people practize social distancing now, especially when someone is sneezing, blowing their nose, coughing, etc.
