I hear you there, But Just jumped the gun without looking it over good Just jumped right on it I do have Reference books I Bought from Col Thompson back in the mid 70's, I Used to buy Japanese swords and Nazi Items back from about . 1975-85 I am an old Geezer 74 Years old. I was one of the Guys went to Major city's and set up inn Holiday Inns put the add in the paper and waited for the WWII Vets come in to sell them to me. I always paid a fair price for them never tried to rip anybody off.
Yo can't believe what I bought back them
For about 1?10th of the price now . I bought some very Crisp daggers and Nazi Pistols My Main field was Japanese swords.
I did have quite a collection of all but don't have any left had to Sell all of them to survive.
I Have bought several SS Daggers and a couple three Chained SS daggers back then.
Col Johnson came in on one of my buying trips When I was in Indianapolis and I sold him three or four daggers one was a chained SS. Very Nice person.
