One more thing! I am sick to death of the politics in this hobby. This has all started in the last five years or so. Maybe it's the prices, I really don't know? It use to be that when I disagreed on some thing with guys like Johnson, Wittmann, Weinand, or say Coates, we didn't come back and call the each other a crook, we still don't. Make no mistake that's what's being done here. We simply disagreed and that was the end of it. On another note, I notice Bob Johns commented on this sword. I consider him very good on Presentation pieces since thats been his area of collecting for many years. God,I miss the good old days.
