Craig, I have to apologize for misreading the testimonial letter from the seller of the dagger. Of course he wrote that his father died in 1980 and it resided in his own safe deposit box until his wife closed out the box. So it was not unseen from 1963 until 2009. He received it from his father in 1980.
