I hope both gents can clear there differences.
I don`t know the seller myself, but I know the buyer. And I know that also the seller have an very good reputation.
Ralf is in fact an collector with 100% good reputation in germany I`cant believe that he is dissasambling a dagger and then send it back.
All what he was doing in past was correct as I know.
Both, seller and collector are in my opinion good guys. Thats why I`m shure that all conflicts can be solved.

I hope so, because such threads are not good for both partys.
