Z Latama MADE IN ITALY 23cm Italian Picklock Flat Guard 1950s automatic knife

Vintage Latama MADE IN ITALY 23cm Italian Picklock Flat Guard 1950s automatic knife measures 22.7cm (9 inches) open with bras liners & pins and nickel silver bolsters, button and safety cap. The bayonet style blade is 99% full, or better with original factory finish and some light scratches and the ricasso is stamped Latama in script over MADE IN ITALY.  The buffalo horn scales are Gorgeous with many colors including Honey, cream, green and brown and in great condition. This is an older and "less common" FLATGUARD picklock as you can see looking at the finger guards in the picture, they are flat on top instead of rounded like most Italian finger guards. The knife works like new with the blade tip deep and centered in the well, Strong snap and good lockup with just a hint of movement each way at the tip. Does NOT rattle if shaken with blade open. EX+ condition.
