Thanks for your support here Pat. I know when I'm being set up and I will respond on this issue if and when I decide to do so. The pictures of this dagger were sent privatly to one individual with the express prohibition NOT to send them to the originator of this thread. I explained to the individual these pictures were sent to WHY I had that stipulation and I won't go into this now. As a matter of fact; the individual who started this thread has done an in hand examination of this dagger at my home and knows damn good and well it's original.
