May I ask what is the relevance of all this Dave ?
Have you got a hidden agenda or just a bad sense of humor.
The whole thing sounds extremelly sacarstic and it seems like some kind of personal vendetta.
It would be nice Dave if you could stay neutral for once, you're supposed to be the chief moderator and as such, be a bit more diplomatic.
Just my opinion.
This dagger was NOT for sale on this forum.
Jim never said publicly that this daqgger was a textbook original either, so what's the grief I ask ?
Was this dagger "touched up", sure it was and so what if it sold as such ?
Would I pay retail for this one, of course not but if I could get it at the discount, why not.
I've seen nice daggers with repainted and releathered scabbard being sold and so what ?
If everything is mentioned as such there is no harm.
