Ron: That is exactly what spawned the "doubt" in Fred's mind - the appearance of both the original and the fake, published for the first time, in the book. Fred had been unaware of extant examples that predated the book, and so it captured his attention and he developed his theory.
Fred Prinz: I doubt very much that "comparisons" will be made on the forum. I assume that those who own these pieces really don't have the time or inclination to post "comparisons" for our study. After the treatment that a small vocal minority gave to the Wolf Sword, I can understand their position.
