Roland, thank you so much for the proper explanation and perfectly explained description of the activity of Knecht. I believe that those very circumstances were much more common virtually in all countries with those assembling swords and those smiths who provided them. As American colonists were not only British, but European as well, these situations certainly prevailed here.

There fore Mark's suggestion of searching merchants records is well placed and perhaps why the name Wyatt is not found in makers lists, but probably in the kind of circumstances shown by Ibrahiim's pertinent entry.

Glen, I was hoping you might enter in here, as when it comes to swords in these fields, your knowledge and expertise are well known in these forums.
Thank you for linking the 2002 discussions. I am always happy to see old threads revived and 'cold cases' revisited, as often new evidence and examples can be brought together with the older material.
