Auction houses that deal in militaria build up a reputation with their customers. They can't get it all "right" all the time. I do know the guys at Sold USA and have dealt with them for a number of years. Dave & Chris are Good people.
Today we discussed the above dagger openly. I stated my concern and opinion. We went over the details.
In short with no hassel at all they had agreed that there were "issues" and told me they will remove it from the auction. And it has already been done!
It was their decision and I commend them on their action.
Your not going to get that from other auction houses.
Unless you really study these dedication
daggers there is no way the even the average collector going to notice these minute details since the inscriptions are done on period daggers.
Again it is only
MY OPINIONand I'm NO Expert but just a student. But I do believe these "close calls" need to be examined "IN-HAND".
