With the increased sophistication of these fakes in even the less expensive dagger types, I wonder if there is a somewhat simpler method of identification?
As many collectors, particularly those in England have little chance to attend Fairs where many daggers are displayed and thus may be compared, perhaps it would be useful to attempt to discover some other yardstick by which originality may be established-weight maybe? May i ask anyone with both an original and a fake of a particular dagger type to make some comparitive measurements? After all its a useful guide with, say, Knights crosses?
