S.M.CO ITALY 28cm Italian Picklock vintage 1950s automatic knife

S.M.CO ITALY 28cm Italian Picklock vintage 1950s automatic knife measures 27.3cm (10 3/4 inches) open with D Stamped brass liners and nickel silver bolsters, button and safety cap. The bayonet blade is about 97% full and shiny and about 3/16" short and the ricasso is stamped S.M.CO ITALY. The genuine horn scales are mostly black with some brown and cream streaking and in excellent condition with a couple of minor imperfections as many of these old scales have. The knife works great with blade tip below liners closed, good snap and very good lockup with about 1/16 inch movement each way at the tip. Does rattle a bit if shaken with the blade open. Safety works. EX- condition
