STAINLESS STEEL Bullfighter Dragon 19cm Mexican Light Blue Souvenir lever

Exceptionally nice vintage Bullfighter Dragon 19cm Mexican Light Blue Souvenir lever switchblade knife made in Japan for the Mexican tourist trade between the late 1950s and into the 1970s. These were made in three different sizes with different blade shapes, different colors and some variations on the scenes and are a lot of fun to collect. This knife is the most common size measuring 19cm (7.48 inches) open and 4 1/8 inches closed with steel liners and brass bolsters, lever and lanyard ring. Less common Light Blue background with gold dragon on the front and bullfighter/ Matador scene on the back covered with clear acrylic are in excellent condition. The flat grind clip blade is marked STAINLESS STEEL below the spine and is full with original factory finish intact. The knife works well with the blade tip below liners closed, opens fully and Tight lockup open.  Does not rattle if shaken when open. EX+ condition.
