  • Well collectors, here we are again! Tom and Ob welcome their buddy Nick down the cellar for a few drinks, some unboxing, and a look at some of of his favorite pieces.
    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 something of a Luddite. 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

    The inscription on the holster of the last pistol is not French but German. And it’s also not the coat of arms of the owner but of his students club. The dedication says it was a gift from another member of his students club to the owner who obviously was not only an officer but also an academic.

    A German police barracks sign I had years ago was brought back to the US on a troop ship by an enlisted man in his pack. Once aboard the ship, he hid it behind a ship's boiler where steam from the boiler burned a hole along the border of the sign. He hid it after he boarded the ship because officers would shake the soldiers down and go through their things looking for ' contraband '. I've also heard stories of GIs tossing their war booty overboard, rather than letting it fall into the hands of officers. Some guys didn't want to risk asking for bring back papers because they didn't trust officers. I don't blame them.

    I greatly enjoyed this one, Wittmann! You have some very interesting friends; I have liked them all. I collect guns, not edged weapons, so this one struck a chord. With German equipment the quality is always a joy to behold, no matter what the item. My father (I am 70) was an infantry Sgt. in the Philippines and brought or sent back numerous Japanese items and they are not in the same class, believe me!

    Tom, you may want to discuss the new policy in the UK regarding the ban coming up May 7th, of all Royal postal delivery of all swords. Although this isn't exactly the same type of ban as in Australia it will impact militaria sword trading and shipping. It's quite disturbing the liberties these governments are taking away from their citizens. It must stop.

    What a guy! Interested in the PPK. Family brings in a AKAH holster for the gun and gives it to him for free without him telling them what it’s really worth! Class act! No wonder the younger generation don’t want to get involved in the hobby when sharks like him are in the business!
