As long as this dealer is allowed to start and continue with this type of "baiting" threads we can expect more of this here. Frown

Grip, We can all see the glass as "half-full" or "half-empty". But in my opinion, this whole thread has "backfired" on the "thread starter". There are certainly a lot more questions regarding the "authenticity" of this dagger and it's components now, than if he just left it alone.
And when the "back" of the "Gahr" mounts were shown...well it was pretty much over when Christopher Ailsby stepped in..Clearly demonstrated his expertise for all to see.
I'm actually glad this thread was brought out since it has proven to be very much a learning and informative one. Wink
