Both blades open & close firmly with a snap, as does the cork screw. The scales are black phenolic with a fancy silver or nickel Tungsram ORION inlay.
The lizard skin sheath is lined with red velvet with leather lacing.
This is an extraordinary advertising piece, European in origin, & may pre-date WW II. It makes a wonderful item of either a knife collection or an advertising collection. Thank you for visiting The Treasure Chest. |
