Thanks, Bill. In my impetuous youth I was a dagger collector and that is part of the reason I bought this piece; that, and the exorbitant prices of any Allach!
Knowing your admiration of that Kaerner fellow if you are not aware of an upcoming German auction, I thought you might like to see a couple of bronze examples of his that are coming up for sale later this month; appararntly these are from "the estate of the niece of the famous artist"
