Gentlemen, I'm very pleased to introduce to you my new babies that I've recently acquired through friends. The NPEA comes from Tim Dauncey (Canada) and the RLB from Jonathan Auckland (England). They now reside with me in the Great White North.

Thank you Serge, you know how long it took me to acquire that RLB, almost 2 years. These RLB's with the early nickel silver hardware were much more difficult to find than expected.

Pat, I miss that RLB but it's found the best home possible and I need the cash to fund my ever growing SS collection - if you find any spare minty SS daggers you know where to send them Thanks for putting the deal together Paul

Paul,
Clearly the centerpiece of any dagger collection & that's saying a lot considering your stellar collection. Have you had any luck trying to discover who the original owner of that RLB was?

Hi Billy I have further information, but am sworn to secrecy by the owners descendants. All I have will potentially be passed to any future owner should I ever sell-not a likely scenario! ps Im still delighted with the fire dagger-now on page 2 of my 'display case' of my website-have a look
