but craig what about the fake marks (i wont even call them hall marks as they are not)on the mount?
if ,as you believe, during ww2 such things went out the window why have any marks at all which would have been legal??
no the top mount was made with fake marks so that they would fool poeple into believing the mount was period
happy to accept the dagger is genuine but i know too much about silver to accept the mount sorry
