My Dad is at a Judges' conference last week and next week but he wanted me to post and tell you the HJ came from Denmark that JR helped him get.He hasn't seen it but it has brass rivets and real early grips. The scabbard might not be original to the piece because it has two runners. The exclamation point has the "wiggle" in the line like a lot of early ones do. it is neat & is a Herman Schneider and came wrapped in a Danish newspaper dated 1945. I have written to the seller to see if there is something significant about the newspaper. Dad just wanted me to tell you guys this and to thank JR again. Lance Neighbors
