That better be addressed this season..!!! The gauntlet Rumple got in camelot is most likely a "price" Arthur (or someone else from the round table) had to pay for Gold's assistance hence Arthur's telling he had cross path with the DO's before. The story Rumple tells Belle about the gauntlet makes me beleive this was (long) before Arthur got Excalibur. Eventhen, that doesn't mean Rumple only went once to Camelot although I would question his reasoning if he didn't: going the Merlin's realm as the DO knowing he's the one you trapped you with the dagger. I'm really looking forward to clarify the chronology of this (Rumple's visit to Camelot, Arthur getting Excalibur, Arthur finding out about the dagger/Excalibur link and scheming on using the visitors to get to the DO's dagger).
