Thank you sincerely, Eva, for your suggestion. But I just don’t believe it (biometric analysis or photographic overlays) would be in any way beneficial to the process of authentication. As you are probably aware, the owners of the Hoffman and Kaplan dags pursued that avenue in an attempt to bolster their claims to no avail. There is, however, a world of difference between those dags and the Abe & Mary dag. The Hoffman and Kaplan dags are singular upper-torso shots without the visual evidence necessary to authenticate them, regardless of whether either of the images actually depict Lincoln. The Abe & Mary dag has all of the visual evidence necessary to authenticate for any objective individual willing to provide more than a cursory examination in conjunction with a substantial knowledge of the physical characteristics and subtle nuances of both Abraham and Mary Lincoln. It is my firm belief that at some point the dag will be authenticated by an entity unencumbered by the subjective beliefs that are so pervasive in the Lincoln community, and that the dismissive observations and negative commentary by said Lincoln community will actually play a positive pivotal role in the outcome.
