On another forum a while back, there was a long discussion of a particular military issue P-38 pistol. With the new owner actually meeting with the GI who acquired it following a well known tank battle at the end of the war. The new owner had more than sufficient documentation. With a letter and some other details that the pistol was exactly as it was found when the GI originally acquired it. From the GI himself, not a third party.
The problem with it was that it was a late war pistol was either chrome or nickel plating. (For non gun collectors: the Germans did not chrome or nickel plate their military issue service arms.) My point being that while all of us have to respect the GI, and his service to his nation. Postwar �documentation� no matter whatever the source - is not �proof of the matter�. And in the case of the pistol. Was worthless for any other purpose than that the pistol came from the GI.
I�m looking forward to seeing whatever configuration this particular dagger is in. To see how it compares to some of the others that are in currently in circulation. FP
