Research and responses

Note that there is an entry in the 'Green book' for two 'bronze daggers forgeries'. These cannot be matched at the present time as there is insufficient information but no daggers are currently identifed as being reproductions. Any of the bronze daggers in the existing catalogue may therefore be reproductions [AP Leverhulme project on founding collection 1995-1998]
