Larry,

I've never seen a legit TeNo dagger with such a blade, although it's good never to say never. How about some pictures of the dagger obverse? I ask because there are some pretty good (& some pretty bad) fakes of the TeNo Leader. Maybe we can vet the piece by looking at the rest of it.

Are there any tang markings? Any evidence of stamped/etched numbers on the blade or scabbard throat?

Larry,
Does it also have numbers on the blade and the scabbard throat ?

Do you have a detailed pic of the crossguard eagle? Also, many of the early copies have cast non-magnetic alloy blades.
