This will be a hard one to upgrade. It is a beauty. I love these daggers. Always wondered what the idea behind their design was?? Some kind of hatchet like machete for chopping about in undergrowth. Could have been nasty if they held an edge.

Spock,

Always nice to see such a well conditioned hewer. It's so disheartening to see these pieces in their often seen condition, dinged up with plate loss & even sharpened blades. This is a beautifully preserved piece with just the right amount of carrying wear to make it appeal to most everyone whether they like minty pieces or ones with a lived in look.

I know the wife/encroachment argument all too well myself. Fight the urge & find new hiding places, that's what I did Smile

Just put a few more in the loft, no way you can fit anymore in that room of yours, another great find as with all these in the latest group.
