Down the Cellar 126 - The Gamut Is Run

Well collectors, here we are again!
Lots of different things emerge to be fingered in this episode; medals, flags, photos, insignia, buckles, and daggers of all different kinds.
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 KZbin "the U-TOOBZ". Just email him, srsly.
Tom's personal email is: [e-mail]
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: [e-mail]

Dear Mr. Whitman(s)....I so very much appreciate your videos and have always been interested in WW2 history (my father was a bombardier early in the war and was injured, and needless to say he hated the Nazis) But, I was always intrigued by German quality but felt ashamed that I would be looked upon negatively for appreciating this era of history, for this I thank you. The history lesson that you give in conjunction with your son each enjoying life is special..cheers!

Just like to add, love the Bob Burns chained cutter 🔥🔥🔥

[@csaint6780]

Thanx for another fine episode, Happy Birthday Rob, all the best!!

TOM: One more reason the collecting community calls the round hole scabbard DRK Leader a Social Welfare is that in my 350 plus motel buys, directly from verterans in the 1970S and 1980s, ALL the DRKs that came in and had hangers with them had ONLY Social Welfare Hangers on ROUND HOLE Scabbards and RED CROSS HANGERS on daggers with RECTANGULAR HOLES.

[@jimrutherford2773]

From what I have heard over the years as to why there are dings on the sides of dagger and sword scabbards are, 1. They accidentally got caught in closing doors, 2. They were purposely put in to the scabbard to keep the daggers from sliding out.

Hello Team Wittmann! First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY OB! I want to thank you guys again for taking the time to explain the finer nuances of the hobby like the differences between the Red Cross and so called "Social Welfare" daggers.

Morning Mr Whitman and Rob, it's 8.30am here in the UK and just watched your latest video of the show. Once again you never disappoint the viewers with the content you show us. I'm always looking forward to seeing your next version of the show. Wanted to ask you a question about, is Rob a big collector like you are. He seems to know his stuff on it all. Which I imagine he has picked it up along the way with you. Anyway great show. All the best from Phillip Colley, from the UK. 🔥 🔥 🔥
