Just trying to get educated here. I have a dagger coming in that is an early make, but has a "period" repainted scabbard. It is my understanding that all early daggers had anodized finishes.
My question then is how common was it for an original dagger owner to paint over the anodized finish of his early make dagger? Would it be because of the laquer finish being off that he would have wanted it shiny again?
