- 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.
Woah! I commented too soon! CONGRATULATIONS on the railway police dagger! Stunning! I hope you’re putting that one upstairs.👍👍
My icemaker cannot keep up
I’d really like to see a “hobby journal” episode on DRK daggers/hewers!
Great vid again, just to mention that dagger towards the end min 1:31 its not Croatian but Hungarian.
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 wish that every time the “wam” comes out to make a drink that “ wake me up before you go go “ would play in the background!! Lol
I don’t 😂
That may end my subscription lol
The closing dagger is incredible! Maybe on the next video you could briefly explain how it surfaced or how it was liberated 🙏 it’s just such an amazing piece you want to know more. Peace
just incredible video and hope you feel better next ob
I buy a lot of Steven Mueller stuff love his signature collection.

Love those parking lot daggers, lucky. Also the skull heads are really nice and unusual

The first marking on the tropical belt is the Reichsbetriebs number. This system was used in lieu of the RZM markings starting in 1943.
Get well soon OB !!!
New to your channel.Amazing content 👍🗽🙏🇺🇲
That last dagger is such a beautiful rare example; for this one dagger, could you tell us what it is worth??
I know this much; that piece is going in Tom’s personal collection!
Another great show Mr Whitman and Rob. Sorry to hear that you are not very well. Get well soon Rob. All the best from Phillip Colley in the UK.
Cool tshirts! Wait, where is the swaz?? .......... KIDDING ......... Nice to see you get some merch Wittmann. BTW, a few years ago, I saw a German WW2 gravity knife in the shape of a small box opener. It was small and very cool looking. I wish you would get some of those into your store Wittman with your branding on them.
I’ll definitely take a T-shirt those are nice ! 👍
DTC tshirts and Bob Burns cutter, what incredible items. Keep up the great videos fellas. Always inspiring my channel and collecting here in Mexico City.
Much appreciated
Great video, well done Ob I know how hard it is to achieve anything with the man flu, I’ve got it as well. I love how Tom will put his drink anywhere but on the coaster 😂😂😂
Yeah, the poor guy was a mess. And when it comes to coasters Tom is a mess.
@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria we love you both, best RUclips channel ever👍
Another great vid with the guys and have a Tshirt order in 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
There is a Brit here heading out to the Max show in September, hope to you there Tom....
He will be there! Honestly he'd probably be there in a coffin if the unthinkable happens.
That Eickhorn early Army is really nice!
У вас всегда оригинальные и красивые трофеи! 👍
Love the channel, love the t-shirt, I'll take one for sure!
If you send Tom an email (herrwittmann@gmail.com) he'll get one out to you.
Another good video from Ob and Tom.
Thank you, oh mighty eagle.
What a dagger and hanger’s WOW!
Great show boys! Obby, get better! Have Chrissy make you some tea. 😉 Greetings to John & Debby too. PS, I need one of those t-shirts! And that engraved SA too please!🤯👍👍👍. Best greetings from Deutschland,
Johnny V.
OMG Tom is trapped under a pile of boxes! We need you're organization expertise STAT.
@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria Ha! I can imagine! I am trying to organize a trip to visit in you guys this summer… fingers crossed. Stay well!
Johnny
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.
Oh helllllll yeaaaaaaa
Thumbs up for the 131st time 🤩
The dagger 1:31:38 is not Croatian, its Hungarian maritime dagger.
Can they put the graphics on the BACK of the T-shirt, instead of the front? Better to show off to the person behind you while in line waiting to be robbed at the grocery store, ha, ha. Thank you, President Biden, very much!
Those are prototypes. Who knows what they will look like in the end.
@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria thank you. I hope Ob feels better really soon.
Love this boss' Gott mit uns.

When describing a dagger, go with 'beautiful', instead of 'pretty. When you say 'pretty' we think you have changed the subject matter, dagger, to your wifes appearance 😅
Cool shirts...little too busy for my tatse
Yeah I think they're horrible, but I just work here.
Any chance, if tagged of mentioning your label price please? Gives some of us chance to save prior to it being listed on your website please.
That afrikakorps Eagle looks like a fat dove.

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.
