I have a question for PZ2001. Your post about Picture #6 being a known fake interests me. I have no doubt that the one shown is a copy. But is it your position that there was no such dagger? Here's a crooked scan of one from Tom Johnson's Vol. V, Pg 227. I personally took that picture back in '81. If that's a fantasy dagger it certianly fooled all the bigtime dagger people back then.
