Anthony...I think you owe the whole forum a round of drinks :D

Glad we were able to see the saga from the beginning to the end. Good find there, and one of the rare ebay successes of the year.

Great results so far. Thanks for the update Stephen, and good to hear some good news before the flood of pinks announcements start :)

Yes, congrats to Anthony. Heck of a find.

Hats off to Stephen for his legwork on this. In one of the Kapp books it has a writeup on Keith, and I'm glad Stephen shared the info with the group so I can post it in my book and notes.

 

I'd love to see this blade some day, if it is ever decides to go walkabout from England again. I'm trying to be a fittings collector, but this tanto has a great story to it.
