C JUL HERBERTZ IMPORT 21cm Italian Transitional Pearlex Stiletto switchblade NOS Red Dot

Vintage C JUL HERBERTZ IMPORT 21cm Italian Transitional Pearlex Stiletto switchblade knife. The knife is NOS (New Old Stock) and is part of a group of old Herbertz switchblades found recently in Italy that had been in storage for over 50 years. The knife measures 20.4cm (8 inches) open with D stamped brass liners and nickel silver bolsters, button and safety cap and Red Dot safety. The flat swedge grind blade is 100% full with all of the factory finish intact and the ricasso is stamped C JUL HERBERTZ IMPORT on the front and ROSTFREI on the rear. The Pearlex (imitation pearl) scales are Beautiful and in great condition with a few tiny scratches from handling/storage. The knife works great with the blade tip deep in the well closed, strong snap and TIGHT lockup open. The button is stiff because the knife is NOS so takes a firm Press. Should get easier as the knife sees more opening. Safety works. Nearly New (NOS) condition.
