Dickinson's Real Deal

In the Wolverhampton episode of the programme, David Dickinson and his team travel to the city to appraise a selection of antiques. Among the pieces examined are a book detailing the Titanic and a historic cavalry sword, both submitted for evaluation.

Wolverhampton 3 is an episode of a television programme that follows the familiar format of its series, presenting a focused look at items submitted for expert appraisal. The episode’s title indicates that the action is set in Wolverhampton, and it forms part of the ongoing run of the show, which routinely brings together collectors, specialists and a charismatic presenter. In this particular instalment, presenter David Dickinson joins his regular team for a visit to Wolverhampton. While on location they gather a small but varied group of objects to be examined, and among the pieces they bring back for assessment are a book that details the story of the Titanic and a cavalry sword. Both items are singled out as notable examples of the material the team evaluates during the episode. The segment devoted to the Titanic book and the cavalry sword shows the team carefully inspecting each piece, discussing its background and attempting to determine its worth. By highlighting these two very different objects – a historical publication and a weapon from a bygone military era – the episode demonstrates the breadth of items that can appear on the show and the expertise required to judge them. Throughout, the programme maintains its straightforward, hands‑on approach to appraisal, letting the objects themselves drive the narrative.
