- It's way, way too hot to describe this video.
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 myself to engage with everyone, but alas the world is far from perfect.
A few helpful tips:
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.
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.

I always enjoy your stories from back in the day. Keep them coming.
Love the early stories Tom. I remember my first Fair in the UK when I was around 10. Walked in with my Mum ( under duress) and saw for the first time German Tunics hanging on hangers…hooked. I don’t collect German as I collect Royal Air Force, but the interest will never diminish. Thanks for the videos
Thank you Tom for another great video. I enjoy hearing the stories.
I’ll never forget going to gun shows in the late 70’s/early 80’s with my dad and the militaria was always super cool for me. The flags hanging up and mannequins and uniforms and daggers and bayonets. I always wanted a H youth knife as a kid, never got one. The gun shows back then were a very big deal and I always loved going.
Oh I remember the 1960s and 70 s Tom. You could buy an original SS helmet out of a Sports Afield magazine for $19.95! Daggers. Bayonets. Tunics. But back then it was all still too fresh. Most people were like who the hell wants a Nazi helmet lol. Same with guns K98s. I enjoy your videos immensely Tom. I wish someday, you guys could come to SW Florida. You guys would be sold out. Have a great day
Brother I just love this channel, your a good man and you inspire us all, God bless, your friend from dixieland, Donavan Tew
Don't worry about guys who complain that you talk too much, your stories and experience is the field is information worth sharing and priceless. It's always good to know the history behind the hobby, especially one as niche as this one.
I like to hear your stories and the history of the early days of collecting. Knowing the history of our hobby is as important as the history of the items themselves.
really enjoy your great stories tom
all the best
That SA dagger is probably one of the nicest I have seen! Very nice!
Great video. I enjoyed every bit. More to come. Thank you
I always enjoy the stories of your life and experiences in the military collecting.
Thanks you Tom.👍
Hey Mr Wittman. It's Aaron in NC...we've talked a few times by Email about my J.A Schmidt amd Son SA dagger.
Just wanted to say the guy who complained about you "talking too much" can go watch something else. Those of us who watch your UnBoxing videos look forward to your stories and anecdotes as much (if not more) the actual items.
Seems like most your viewers, like me, enjoy the stories and appreciate the history of the hobby. For those guys that just want to see items they could go online and look at pictures then
Your the best out there in the Business u give the best stories keep them coming thanks…….Ed
Thank you for Down In The Cellar series, amazing items, so much history,
Another fantastic video, thank you Tom. Your friend Andrew from the UK has been selling me some choice items.
Don't know if I'm weird but, hot bath, JD and coke and Mr Tom on my phone 😁
30/40% stories. 60/70% unboxing. I love learning from your past. Right and wrong is great. But, your history is priceless.
Brilliant as ever!
Amazing stories. Thanks a lot Tom
I like you're stories Tom, great camera work Rob! 👍 ❤
Thanks Mr. Wittmann
Always Enjoy Your Unboxing Videos !
My first piece of militaria I ever collected was in 1974. A US sailor gave me his hat insignia. I was 9 years old. The next year I got my first WW2 German collectible, a sleeve insignia for a fire brigade. I still have them both.
Is Charlie Snyder still alive? I worked his table back in the 70’s at Greenbelt Armory. He was something else.
Tony
He passed a few years back.
no
Always good stories and an hour of entertainment.
Thx for the sunday evening entertainment. Greeting from germany.
I had to stop the video and comment. I remember the 70s and all and Charlie Snyder and the greenbelt Maryland show. He was about as nice as a alligator at feeding time. Ok back to your video lol
I can remember when "Dr. Stan" introduced us to each other at a show in King of Prussia, PA circa 1985! 👍😎
Great story about early collecting.👍🏼
Very nice items as usual Tom 👌
Great video. Some really great items. Every box isn't a chained ss
Love the stories Tom, any chance you could show us the rare dagger that goes with them mint hangers🤞🏼thanks again for the great video gents🥃🇦🇺
thanks tom, another great video!
You know it's funny Tom every time you take a drink while I watch your show I take a drink I just need to smoke some cigarettes in my house LOL keep up the work thank you you're the best
Outstanding thanks l
Even in tropical conditions the Witt Mann knows to entertain his international audience ! Now will we see him play the drums the next episode ? Will the Lady of the House ever sleep again when he practices his new percussion skills ? Greetings from Europe !!
HAHA!😆
Remember You Could Buy At Military Surplus Stores And All Your Department Stores
los tambores de las HJ.
guauuuuuu !😲
Happy birthday!
Albany,NY show back in the 70's Chuck Skaglion, Ray Zyla,
Love the Cat story 🐈
And 24-hour armed guard was Bayonet Bob sleeping under his table because he couldn't afford a hotel room.
I like the talking you do I find it Fascinating
Love the stories!! That DS can go fly a kite!
You would think it was fine china, the way they wrap those items.
25:50 I'm watching your face, when you open that big box and you look like a kid on Christmas morning.
No you don't talk to much, love you stories, especialy from the early days of dagger collecting, 20$ for an HJ knife, man.... Question: I already heard it sometime but what excactly is an Jim Atwood dagger?
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Mike
Bayonet Pete, that guy had a quart of oil in his hair! 🙄
Poor Ob not feeling well. Miss his comments. Get well soon
Are the beautiful drawings of "humans"?, hanging on the wall behind Tom for sale?👍
Another nice episode. Thanks Wittmann! Do you notice a decrease in sales from Europe with the USD becoming waaay too expensive?
I've got one with wire hanger bent just like that
Ah the seventies.
I remember them well…
Donna Summer. Abba, and scarily realistic reproductions!
😂
I would like a scarily realistic reproduction of a 1970s Donna Summer!
Sir what IS your Favorit dagger?.
I'm not familiar with HJ drums but how can you confirm they are true HJ drums? Is there a book on drums of the 3rd Reich?
always a little bit strong...what a uncle ..these stories
✌
Tom, I gotta say, towards the guy who doesn't care about what you say, is a guy who doesn't appreciate the history of what you sell. You can't know why and how such an object is sold for without understanding why it's sold for so much
$25 in 1975' was about $138.00 in today's money.
In 1975 I worked in a factory for a few months at $3.91 per hour. Starting wage there today is $18/hr. So,you are probably pretty close in your figure.
Second hand smoke is hard on the non smoker.
No non-smokers in the room there.
My birthday is tomorrow On Monday
I hope you have the happiest possible birthday, Michael. We are very lucky to have you as a viewer.
@@WittmannAntiqueMilitaria thanks
What's the matter of he's passing out give him something cold drink the camera is all over the place I think he needs a seat lol
How many time has this guy dropped a bit of hot ash on to an item from that stupid dry cured cigar??? Not too smart.
