- Опубликовано: 12 июл 2024
- Well collectors, here we are again...
00:00 Shameless dog plug.
00:43 Here we are again... Drinking ensues.
03:19 Tom opens his own mail and fails geography
05:09 A white box from Florida, Bob Burns cutter endorsement, and a pretty Luftwaffe dagger.
09:53 Another Florida box covered in postage, Tom complains about popcorn and proper packaging to the disgust of Ob, and finally stops his insufferable griping when a late 1198/38 SS and a choice naval pops out.
21:47 A box from Houston, where Tom reveals he was once "bitten" by a scorpion. A nice, complete Eickhorn bayo with the troddel and frog appears! Also a toned Haenel Suhl SA with good scabbard paint and a belt loop, a virginal Hörster Army, a very late war 1942 SMF SA (RZM M7/9), and a Kolping Army, with the beer mug trademark.
33:31 The Larry appears.
51:49 Post-Larry shock, a display of medals, and an Eickhorn Government Official with the small portepee. Wow.
1:14:24 NO SPOILERS. A back to back heart attack bonafide bonanza ensues. Tom nearly expires.
1:29:30 "Just one more thing..." A Gebr. Heller NSKK is lovingly scrutinized.
1:34:46 "SO..."
BOILERPLA... ER, GENERAL INFO:
Tom, Deb, and Ob would like to thank everyone who have been kind enough to send in gifts. Seriously, you guys are just the best.
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.
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".
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

Say what you will about the germans their work was always top shelve.Beautiful workman ship.
Absolutely 👍
Hey guys, I don't see that anyone has already answered this, and if I missed it, I apologize, but on the standarte, the honorific dated March 16, 1935 commemmorates the date that Hitler formally repoudiated the military limits imposed on Germany by the Treaty of Versailles and began the process of re-arimg the Reich. My research indicates that the March 16, 1936 honorific is most likely a celebration of the one-year anniversary of German rearmament, ~ Charlie Eklund
You are correct, Charlie- Thank You!
I am the consigner of the standarte. I was always puzzled by the dates. I appreciate you teaching me the history and meaning behind that. You know your history!
Waiting for that cigar to burn it .
My lord another amazing episode, the way Tom was waving that cigar and throwing that cutter on that Standarte was giving me a heart attack, for god sake man🤦🏼♂️
Yeah....was thinking the same thing. When the new owner buys it and it shows up smelling like cigar smoke and has whiskey stains he'll know why. Sweet Jesus.
Best as always ⚔
Another amazing show that you and Rob have put together. Always waiting for the next show to come, as you never know what your going to see. All the best from the UK. 🔥 🔥 🔥
Tha Wittmann at it, great fun and interesting. As always greetz from Europe !!
Another awesome video! Great seeing you guys, even from afar!.
A lot of those HEER standarts are in Moscow right now.
Have always absolutely loved your videos. Especially you passing your knowledge down to young collectors and also what to look out for with fakes. Cheers
Hello Team Wittmann! Wow, Rob, an amazing unboxing this time round. Watching you and your dad do these is one of the great highlights of my week.
Another great show and they just keep getting better
Hard to comment on all this super rare and great items and daggers and army standart. ill just say wow and amazing stuff. the badges are nice as well
Cheers from Lake Mary/Orlando, Happy April Fool’s Day and congratulations on # 120!
Great to meet Jack The Wonder Dog today and shout out to OB for thinking of zooming in on your DTC Wall of Fame during the dead air while Tom wrestled the goods from the popcorn packing from hell.
The German army GORGET is made by Assman. Simpson Ltd has another one for sale on the website.
Standard is Awesome, like a lot of the daggers👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
First item in the video, the 2nd model Luft by Robert Klaas is interesting, all of the subtle little details, really great.. the only one I have by Robert Klaas is a first model HJ knife with nice motto and no ricasso.. and you gotta love that R. Klaas logo with the two dear' heads back to back 😊
Hello !! Thank you for another video !
That Standard is way to Cool!! thanx to the Wittman crew for another great video! Cheers from Toronto!🥃🥃
Another hit the goldmine video! 🎉
Years ago at a Civil War show I bought a SA dagger . Today , about 40 years later I found out who made my 1941 7/9 . Now I Can re-watch a few of your shows and learn who SMF is . Thanks .
Fantastic episode!!
Great stuff as usual Wittmann !!
You had an artillery swallow tail standard, finial, battalion & streamer ring with streamers mounted to a half staff that was cut back in 1995. The flag material is silk. It was listed for $12,995.00.
Wow what a killer show. The best stuff I have seen on these videos. You can make more of them durning the week and I won’t be upset. Lol
Happy Easter, Jack looks great 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
now we all want to see that photo lol
Another great video.
I really like those beautiful standard flags. Can you imagine how many hours went into making that thing? It seems almost impossible to make yet someone did it.
It's 12 o'clock somewhere..keep it up 🥃
Great!!!
Good show Tom.
The 1196/38 is a Wusthof. The E in Ehre has the curved tip E done only by Wusthof
I appreciate all historical items. WW2 in particular.
Happy Easter🙂
Lmao, the cat.....hahaha
Great ss dagger 😅
You know what they say, "tiny portapees, tiny deeds".
👍❤
Like a dagger with some wear ,shows it was used .
Now if you only had the standard pole top!
Love the videos
Next April Fools someone should send a package filled to the brim with spring loaded popcorn and shredded paper.
🤝👍👍👍👍👍
hi tom!, we met twice a long tims ago at the stratford armory, stratford connecticut!! gotta ask whats in the glass???
😄👍👍
Schnellboot bage is the correct tittle.
If you buy clothing from this man it will probably smell cigar smoke when you receive it.....!
Why you making snide comments like that. I bet you don't buy or your not even interested in all this made for the public to see the history of the 2nd world war.
Yes....and history deserves respect....it is oaky to asy it....but the behavior must follow the words.... I have an uncle who died in Normandy and my father-in-law was a German soldier who fought in Stalingrad and managed to survive....you like to drink and smoke....it's allright, but at the right time when its more appropriate.... I am about 80 years old and I am an historian and still keeping busy with it.... and about these artifacts I know a lot more than you think.... you can bet on that....believe me I like this man and he is an honest man.....that is true,but a little bit more of class would be appreciated.... @@phil-em-in
❤❤❤ Happy day.gruss Felix From Düsseldorf Germany

I would assume it has something to do with "Tag der Wehrmacht"
Calvary Standard
Red is Artillery. Golden yellow is Calvary.
Get that damn cigar outta your mouth if feel a lot better 😂
I disagree, it's suspenseful.
