I agree with you Jim that our discussions should indeed remain focussed on the dagger at hand. I see no reason, however, why this discussion needs in any way to be over simply because we were temporarily side tracked. I think that Tim's postings of other everyday items from the period that have used similar imagery (Green Man, dragons) should be sufficient to support that there was probably no occult intent in the creation of this dagger. Perhaps we can continue the discussion with this in mind.
