Why did you post it here since you are asking legitimacy ?

If your dealer associate is a long standing business relationship then there are no issues of answering the request of his name. If his reputation is golden then there is nothing to worry about any questions being asked about the dagger or the source....then theres nothing to hide.

If you wish not to supply the source then the Gents here most likely will either not help you or totally pull apart your dagger without disassembly.
This is what we do here by seeking the truth and less about stories and hiding identities.

Too much anymore in this day and age of fraud and deception are fleecing the pockets of the less studied and new collectors. The cancer is a 3 way street with the dagger, the source and a story attached.

Nothing personal Mr Benger ..its all about the dagger.
