I agree. Well said, Tex.

I ordered a copy and have had it for several days and have read it and looked it the pictures several times.

Captivating. A whole new series of early EP&S SS daggers ? It poses many questions which I hope will get discussed here.

One comment about the above discussion on the photos: Whether the photos in the publication are 1st, 3rd, or 5th generation matters not. Look at them and decide for yourself what they tell you about the daggers in question. The originals were taken 85 years or so ago. If you feel that a photo has been manipulated, then say what part of the photo has been altered. If possible, show us a "before" picture.
