[quote=murman][quote=Dave]Thanks, Murman,

Very nice addition to your collection. Paul & Nathan (Lakeside Trader) sell very good stuff

The wax that most dagger collectors use is called Renaissance Wax or Ren Wax. I've used it for many years with no problems.

Dave[/quote] They do. I?m glad all the anxieties are over. I?ll google Ren Wax and see what comes up. It?s my first dagger. I mostly collects guns, but I?d be interested in a SS or SA dagger in good condition
[/quote] found the wax. I?ll buy some coat it then put it in a safe. That stuff might be good for outside surfaces of firearms also. Thanks for telling me about it. Would you recommend storing it in the sheath or separately? I?m asking all these questions because when I pass everything I own will be passed down. I?m not exactly a young sprout lol
