San Marco ! I'm in Venice 4/5 times each year, but I always saw at the
"pala d'oro" with "Cristo Pantocratore" the few times I was in the Basilica. Didn't noticed that dagger. I always was much more interested in the Palazzo ducale armory and ca' Pesaro japanese collection.
A good piece to dig in. The treasure is usually well documented on where and when it was sacked by the venetian armies. But this might mean noting
about the real age of the item. Seem i'll need help of a specialist in easter weaponry.

My mother maiden name is "Casaroli" and was born in Castel San Giovanni, Piacenza. Google "Cardinal Casaroli"

You know, the two oldest lobbies in the world are jews and chatolic priests.
In venice you can find both. You definitively have to go to visit "Ghetto vecio" (the old ghetto). One of the least known and most beautiful sites in Venice.
