This is an item that was taken off the rubble of a home in Fallujah. Antique items are not part of "legal" items to be taken as war trophies, as confirmed by David Lewis Smith from SWF. This Item has been taken from the Iraqi people Illegally in accordance with every law.

I hope who ever bought this dagger can contact us here.

Hi Lotfy,

Thank you.
I think only one thread is still available over at SFI, but it does include James story of the items acquisition so shows that my quoting him is verbatim:
