I am still waiting for a definitive answer on the dagger from an expert. He received and looked at it briefly, and feels good about it so far, but further scrutiny is required to be sure, and time will not allow that until he returns from a trip. From what I have read and heard, I think the Packs have such a bad name for the reasons BrianK mentions. Very common maker, many well-known fakes are floating around bearing this maker's mark. We now know for sure, the dagger is a genuine Pack SA dagger. Is the inscription post-war? I can't wait to find out!
