Hope these photos come out and I learn some way to post better quality shots. What do you think ladies and gentlemen?

P.S. Has a woman ever posted on this forum?

Very nice early SA dagger. Fittings and condition look great. I'm sure women have posted here or women masking as men or vice versa

Thanks Fitzer. I bought it at a small local auction and I'm a far far from expert so at about $550 I think I did ok with this one. There is cross grain the who way down although it hasn't come out in the reduced size photos.

I don't think women appreciate daggers and I'm not sure how much I'd like one who did. Vivre la difference! In the UK they are going to force the FTSE 100 companies to employ quotas of women on their boards as opposed to the person who is actually best at the job.

$550 is a great price for this piece. SA daggers seem to increase or at least hold their value due to the variations in these daggers that appeal so much to collectors.

Great Early Puma SA Dagger at a Bargain price, Congrats

Remember & Wipe Any Fingerprints Of The Blade With A Soft Cotton Cloth .

Great conditioned Puma ,, Manxman, probably one of the best conditioned makers I have seen lately. Nice!!

Thanks for the comments gentlemen. Nice to know it seems I got a pretty good price for a good dagger.

As already stated a clean/original SA at a great price . Congratulations on a nice score .
