So is the insinuation then that the combination of dagger type and number are incorrect because being so early, the number has to be on an early nickle silver dagger? This is mere conjecture and opinion that is not based on fact. Unless one can substantiate that the stamping was done post war then we will never know. Ask one of the two Toms if this combination is an impossibility. Sorry, just don't like to see an item tainted because it does not meet the smallest of collecting community detail. In my opinion this dagger is fine and this combination could very well exist..., it might not conform for an early high ranking member but that in of itself is not enough reason to cast it aside...cheers, Ryan
