Sepp, I was not at the MAX, and was asked a short while back to publish a correction to some earlier statements that I had made. It turned out that I was not as off base as I had been led to believe - but it�s with that understanding that I�m posting what I think happened. And would defer to anyone who was there and was actually a witness to what took place.

�Fred...Were any of the blades you show differences in the signatures shown at the MAX to the people that were on the board?� No, the differences in the signatures were not presented.

�Did the Board members compare two, thought to be good daggers?� Uncertain, the �Gr�ner� dagger was looked at and I think the �Kassel� (relic) dagger blade.

�Where any of the chains that have these hallmarks shown at the MAX?� No, not that I know of.

�CG's Dagger I believe he said,does not have a chain is that correct?� Not exactly. Craig said that his �Gr�ner� dagger did not have a silver chain. FP
