While earlier I made reference to page 8 of the thread, another closer look at a �H�hnlein� dagger blade posted on Craig�s web site might be helpful as a learning experience.

In the image the �OP� refers to the �overpass� analogy I used on page 8. With the �L/S� referring to the rather unusual appearance of what visually looks like starts and stops of the (machine engraved) signature at the indicated locations.

If Craig or any of the �H�hnlein� dagger proponents has a logical explanation for why these phenomena proves they were acid etched instead of engraved. It will have my full attention and I would like to hear it. FP
