Vern,

Thank you. I would like the forum members to know that thanks to the forum for it's existence and the patience it shows to new collectors and for your generosity is sharing your time and knowledge I was saved from losing several thousand dollars on a group of daggers that had been offered to me. I'm an old man and been to gunshows for 40 years and read a lot and thought I knew enough to spot a fake. I was wrong...
