M ITALY INOX 18cm Italian Transitional stiletto 1960s automatic knife

Vintage M ITALY INOX 18cm Italian Transitional stiletto swivel bolster automatic knife made in Italy in the 1960s with similar quality to 1950s Italian picklocks. The knife measures 18cm (7 inches) open and just under 4 inches closed with brass liners and nickel silver bolsters, button and steel safety cap. The flat swedge blade is 99% full or better with original finish with a few very light scratches and the ricasso is stamped M ITALY INOX in an oval. The scales (handles/covers) are genuine horn and are mostly black and in great condition and had a small spot of white paint on the front, but it came off easily after the photos were taken. The knife works great with blade tip below liners closed, good snap and excellent lockup open with just a hint of movement at the tip. Does not rattle if shaken with blade open. EX condition.
