Lwov,
If I got it right, what you are saying in your own way is that you knew the dagger posted was a fake from the beginning. And you just wanted to know if anyone else could figure that out?
I don't mean to be disrespectful, but who was the one who made this statement?
quote:
"It looks like you do not have a clue what the monogram on the dagger means. Yet you are making such unappealable statements as to the originality of the dagger."
Is it just me, or am I sensing a factual disconnect here?
Take care, Fred
PS to Jim: An interesting discourse, with your observations/questions right on target. If nothing else it prompted me to become a little more educated with postwar manufactured blades. And if Lwov has some insight on more recent manufacturing operations at Zlatoust, I for one would be interested in learning more about them.
