Just went through my old files & oddly enough, I found a Pack Ohliger example that was sold by the Olde Brigade many years ago. In fact, I actually held this example in my hands close to 15 years ago but had forgotten!

Although it had the same PO & Co. maker mark, it was all WKC/WK&C fittings including pommel, crossguard & blade etch. Actually, from the pictures, Ivan's dagger looks to be better made & with that super etch. We know Pack bought fire bayonet hilts occasionally from other makers. Regarding Ivan's dagger, I think this could be explained by Pack buying parts (if not whole daggers) from multiple competitors.
