This is a Very old Italian flatguard picklock most likely from the 1930s. It measures 22cm (8.75 inches) open with brass liners and nickel silver bolsters, button and safety cap. There are no markings on the mostly full bayonet style blade which has heavy patina, some wear and some pitting in one area. It may be a little short and has been sharpened a little over the years. I believe the knife to be all original, but it's obvious that it has been apart since the top bolsters are shiny and recently pinned, but everything else looks just right. The horn scales definitely show their age, but are in good condition with a bug bitten area by the top front bolster and along the front edge next to the liner and a tiny bug bite in the back scale. The color ranges from dark brown/black back scale to translucent green, tan/cream on the front. The knife works well with the blade tip just above the liners when closed, good snap and good lockup with a little up and down at the tip when open. The Safety does work. Decent condition hard-to-find antique Italian flat guard switchblade.
