Hi Barry, I am only 48, though active in the hobby since 1982 and being from Canada, back then I scoured British magazines for their Third Reich ads and articles. You were one of the first chaps that I had heard of...before Tom J and Tom W.....I remember meeting Robert and viewing his outstanding collecting of Damascus and honor daggers/Feldernhalles at past Max and SOS. I also enjoyed an amicable buying relationship with John and we exchanged periodic emails.etc....I have my "opinions" concerning the prototypes but have no issue with the 2 SS dagger samples. The quality and design are outstanding. Thanks Barry cheers and regards, Ryan
