As most likely the only discussion participant who personally knew him, I think that I have an obligation to rectify a serious omission. That being the adding of Dick Deeter to the �list�. He was somewhere between General Wolf and Howard Bayliss on the list of people with an opinion.
As one of my mentors, if I had known then what I know now: You can be sure I would have asked him about the sword!!!
Could we also now follow Ron�s suggestion and get back to the blades under discussion? And show thread readers how a discussion among gentlemen is conducted.
And because there is such an interest in the topic. Could we see some pictures? Both to satisfy reader�s curiosity. And as an educational tool. FP
