Originally posted by Christopher J Ailsby: It seems that the debate has gone cold. The assumption, could be drawn that the piece is now concidered to be a fake. The strength of evidence that the hallmarks and silver marks are incorect seems to have been accepted.Thus chains with these marks are incorrect, placed on a dagger, that could be original or not, proves that the piece has been tampered with.If this be the case, then the whole cannot by nature be original.
Again I state I am no expert on daggers but silver marks are my fortey.I look forward to a revised view by some of the believers.
,,as we will look forward to your next post... ( SILVER indeed!)
