I just wanted to take a minute to thank all of you that emailed me in private to state that this dagger is unquestionably an original pre May 1945 example and one you would dearly want to have in your own collection. In answer to all who asked: NO the dagger is Not for sale at this time. I understand that some do not want to get involved in a public controversy and I respect your position. I don't think these's much more that can be said here and as far as I'm concerned this thread can be closed. Jim
