Do you know that those words were never actually spoken in any of the novels!
Elementary... yes. My Dear Watson... yes. But never together.
Anyway, with the absolutely utmost modesty I must confess to immediately jumping to the correct conclusion regarding the presence of the blade in that hilt. Of course, you have been a good teacher, so you've only yourself to blame.
Do you think this is 17th Century? I wonder if Andrea Ferrara is under that patina?
Sorry Jim, I missed an eL
