INOX 20cm Italian Shell Puller BoBc Black vintage automatic knife

Vintage INOX 20cm Italian Shell Puller BoBc Black automatic knife with lanyard ring made in Italy in the 1960s or 70s. The knife measures 20.2cm (7 15/16 inches) open and 4 3/8 inches closed not counting the pullers with steel liners and nickel silver bolsters, button and safety cap. 

The clip blade is 98% full or better with some of the original finish with light scratches and sharpening marks and the ricasso is stamped INOX inside a parallel sided oval and the reverse is stamped PATENT 96847. 

The scales (handles) are black synthetic with a jig pattern (imitation stag) and are in very nice condition with a little pocket wear and slight shrinkage and has a steel lanyard ring.

Function is very good with blade tip below liners closed, strong snap and excellent lockup open with slight movement that springs back when you let go as most of these do. Does NOT rattle if shaken with blade open. Safety works. VG+ condition.
