No, I purposely didn't take any "before"' pictures. Although today I wish I had. At the time it seemed it would just be another avenue for the "Ailse Experts" to trash it. It has changed hands a few time over the last 23 years, always to another well informed collector. Between this dagger and my Wire Wrapped Klass Army Dagger, I've learned my lesson about sharing. Right now I working on getting a very rare Navy Dagger from the daughter of the Officer who wore it. Along with it comes two photo albums of the subs he served on and a Log of some sort from one of them. I've known about this grouping since the late '70's. I'm hoping to have it in hand by the MAX Show. If not, I'll just keep after the family for the next 30 years. If I do get it, I already have someone in line for it.
