Well I guess if you had a broken piece on your dagger it'd be great to get the part.
But where does it stop,, replace because something is worn? replace because the next piece makes it rarer?
Collectors and dealers have been humping up daggers since the beginning of the hobby. Times are tough now,,dealers need to make money,,there is a finite amount of pieces out there,,guess some think ,or try, to get over..

Do the dagger collectors really think most of the daggers vets brought back were in great condition?? Don't they know the 2 biggest dagger gurus have draws and draws full of parts.
