G DAVID LAGUIOLE EXTRA 20cm French automatic knife Gimel Bargeon Arbalete

Beautiful French G DAVID LAGUIOLE EXTRA vintage switchblade knife most likely made in the 1960s or 70s in France in original box. The knife measures 19.7cm (7.75 inches) open and 4.25 inches closed with coined brass liners and brass bolsters, safety and pins with steel button. The long clip blade is 100% full and retains all of the original factory finish. It is marked LAGUIOLE EXTRA with a symbol that look similar to a bow & arrow. The black synthetic scales are in really nice condition but have a lot of shrinkage as most of these tend to have and the front scale has raised letters that read G DAVID. The knife works like new with blade tip below the liners closed, strong snap and good lockup open with a hint of movement, but does not rattle if shaken with blade open. Press button to open and press button to close. (BoBc) Safety works. EX condition.
