Down the Cellar 32 - FAQ

[@martintingey7702]

Hi Tom The buckle is from the Turnverein gymnastic association. The motif on the face is a cross made up of four F's. The four F's stand for "Frisch, Froh, Fromm, and Frei". Translated this means "Fresh, Happy, Pious, and Free". These buckles (as is yours) are often marked O&C ges. gesch. Buckle was worn on a black leather belt. Regards MARTIN..........

Hi Tom, James Oleary here, thanks for the shout out to say you put a smile on my face is an understatement. Thank you so very much, I'll treasure that memory forever I'm glad I got in touch. All the best. James

Hi Tom. Another great video. Please don’t ever stop or change them. The informality is what makes it so great! Cigars. Drinks. No script. Just everything off the cuff so to speak. I can only speak for myself, but I enjoy these videos more than anything on the internet. They bring me back 50 years. When I was 9, my grandad started me with guns and hunting. Down the cellar is where we did all the preparations. Cleaning. Reloading. After the hunt all the guys would go down the cellar and share stories of the day. When I watch your DTC episodes, it brings me right back to my grandfathers cellar and all the great times we had. So don’t ever change. Keep it informal, nothing planned. All the best to you and yours Tom. PS: this is not my real name. I’ve ordered quite a bit the past few years from you, and always it’s exactly what you say it is. Thanks again

Thomas I didn't used to drink on a school night but I'm (now) unable to watch your video wihout having a drink (I can't get Imperial here in the UK) of Jack Daniels, diet coke and ice and saying cheers as you educate us and stop us from making costly mistakes, and all whilst being completely entertaining. Bless you Sir. Andy

[@joeguzman3558]

What a pleasure to watch and learn, Mr. Tom is the go to person when it comes to WW2 German daggers Tom can tell you the brand name of any dagger from a distance, it takes a lifetime and passion to become such an expert God bless Tom and may God give him good health and a long life.

[@larryburwell8550]

[@leonardcroft1467]

Hi Mr. Wittmann Always Enjoy Your Unboxing Videos !! Thanks

[@jimrutherford2773]

Another suberb unboxing. I like when you talk about personal things. The militaria is the food. The stories are the spice, is how I look at it.

[@mmotorhead]

I love your videos Mr Wittmann and your love for the daggers❤, but I would love to see all that medals and patches over the table... 😕

[@andrewburdock2438]

Realy good fun watching Mr Wittman opening the boxes, all sorts of wonderfull things , lots to learn whilst having fun ,, thank you so much,,, i am hooked now aswell,,, lol 😂

[@steelhelmetstan7305]

I always enjoy your unboxing videos and drinking whilst you tubing is the only way to do it, hello from the North East of England 🇬🇧 😉

[@joshualowe6443]

THANK YOU TOM! I saw the two lighters on the table and knew you were gonna answer my question. My wife was so happy! We enjoy your videos so much. If you made videos talking about different types of flowers we would still watch for you!

[@CONGRYU]

These are great videos !! Thank you for doing it ! I love your stories !!

[@bobspothomayoon562]

I think it would be nice if mr Wittmann to open the boxes with a decent beautiful dagger or some antique knife or blade .

[@bibhom493]

Wow

[@jacobhiles1372]

To anyone interested there is a small antique military show in Gettysburg on Friday 6 and the 7th small but there is usually some really good stuff there

[@Paranormal-Alien]

Thank you Tom I was wondering all the same questions you are fascinating and its fun to watch you!

[@t.jjohnson6317]

Another great vid unboxing Big thanks Tom and team

[@joelpaskauskas8485]

Love the commentary on your personal accoutrements! Congrats on #32

[@redmondial]

Tom love these videos but a quick rough price guide would be good, you don’t have to stand by the prices but just a rough guide.

[@tankerman135]

Luciene Piccard watch-French maker, rival of Patek Phillipe

[@jakebeck4389]

Thanks Tom! These are always a pleasant surprise!

[@kennethrouse7942]

Hi Tom, I am enjoying the video, as I always do. You gave me a challenge with your dad's watch because it was moving around a bit, BUT: I think that it's a Lucien Piccard! A strong loupe may bear me out. 👍😁 So in a while I will rest my eyes by joining you in a cocktail. 👍😎🍸 Best, Ken

[@dondoyle8474]

WOW you did save the best for last. That Watch fob was phenomenal. 👍👍

[@mikeschultz8509]

We love to hear all about you. After all, you're the "Rock Star" of German daggers!

[@-Evo]

In a world as loony as this one, the only thing I look forward too are the Thomas Wittmann unboxing videos! Thank you so much for these excellent videos.

[@evdonkbuster]

My exact sentiment👍🏼

[@rodschmidt1806]

You drink 52 gallons of Whiskey a year?!

[@zeevraskin9150]

Hello sir I enjoy watching your videos and waiting to watch your new content

[@Glockenstein0869]

That is a Lucian Piccard watch. Probably worth around 3-4,000. But since it was your father's-priceless.....

[@chrisalan3699]

Another Stellar episode from the Cellar...

[@rogerdee.926]

Finally caught up on your shows, good to hear Ob's voice, congrats on the Oscars, don't forget to thank God, an one other thing...what about those cufflinks you wear, and the ashtrays...

[@militariacollectablesbelgium]

Hello Tom, great you share us something of your personal stuff. Great to hear! Its always a big joy to watch your videos! That watch you have from your father is so beautiful! So you answer a lot of questions, but why you wear your watch on your right hand? I used to wear my watch also on my right hand until someone said to me its not ok to do haha

[@jordanwagner89]

Great video. The SS medallion was insane! Really cool!

[@ProfessorMcGuigan]

Another great episode!

[@euroyank860]

Happy, happy, my man is back with a new episode :-) Somoking and booze, my Tuesday treat !!!! I don't collect in this area but I just enjoy the videos :-)

[@Wolshanze]

I am interested in collecting AH flatware, where do you suggest I start. I am particularly interested in collecting AH formal wear … cheers Tom

[@darrenwalsh354]

Love these videos keep um coming thank-you for the history and entertainment

[@duke4453]

Love the expansion of the shout outs and going over your personal things that make you happy besides your love of the hobby. I too look so forward the escape from the insanity of the world and history repeating itself in the Ukraine following the play book from September 2, 1939. Hopefully we'll all get thru it so I can send cakes again at Thanksgiving 2022.

[@johnmakin4337]

I would like to know about that gold necklace that you were with the pendant

[@alexandrtaraasov3034]

Thank you!

[@bigb.2511]

The iron cross first class is a very good one, cuase it was made during the third Reich period. Most probably a private purchase. Always like those!

[@bryce.miller]

has he ever seen one of those rare totenkof rings? If so, can you guys discuss the rings?

[@joshuastroyer9662]

That watch is a Lucian Picard.

[@darrellenglish2704]

Pink is for Fencing on the Vets Armband

[@mojesimore8054]

On fathers watch is engraved Edgar Wittman. Only one N at the end of family name...

[@alexanderfaust4192]

Those Dunhill lighters are expensive as hell. If you let that guy at the end of the bar keep your lighter it would run you about $800 to replace it with a new one. I went and looked them up expecting them to be in the same ballpark as the cheap whiskey and cheap cigars you smoke but damn was I wrong.

[@francois9330]

i like your french lighter "dupont" : high class !

[@francois9330]

sorry i am wrong i did not see the film at all...

[@jasonoleg3253]

Hi Tom , do you do appraisal for badges medal and insignia ?

[@larryburwell8550]

I don't understand the last ss dagger. It's in a sa scabbard and you say ground Rohm. But it's got a ss handle. Is this some put together piece?

[@derricklichtenwalter1389]

How can I git that watch fob

[@flatbushfox]

TOM....WHAT WAS YOUR VOCATION OR TRADE IN YOUR LIFE.

[@C2owner]

Your fathers watch is a Lucien Picard.

[@C2owner]

sorry its spelled Piccard.

[@michalprokop2685]

Hi ,Super !

[@tompniewski5781]

Killer SS watch fob!!!!

[@flatbushfox]

TOM.....I RECOMMEND YOU WEAR WHITE COTTON CURATOR GLOVES WHEN HANDLING THESE OBJECTS.

[@johnmakin4337]

I like the smokin and Drinkin why are you do the unboxing. But you take too much time

[@joeguzman3558]

Mr. Tom we also want to know why are you so beautiful ? Why can't you just be like the rest of us old ugly farts ? God bless you Mr. Tom we love you.

[@militariacollectablesbelgium]

It is sooo crazy almost everyone why send you stuff is putting the dagger backwards into the scabbard 🫣 militaria collecting for dummies
