Fine Unwin & Rodgers Etched Blade "NON-XLL" Percussion Knife Pistol

Measuring 6 1/2 inches in the closed position, this pistol has an in-line percussion barrel in German silver positioned on top of a dual blade pocketknife. The knife blades (both spear point, 3 3/4 and 2 1/2 inches) bear the "NON*XLL/UNWIN&/RODGERS" address on the left ricasso. The barrel is stamped with a pair of "crossed scepter" proofs, with a smooth vertical spur hammer and a folding trigger. A pair of horn panels cover the sides of the body, with a steel tweezer set slotted into the right panel (tightly fitted) and a German silver bullet mold on the left. A small, empty compartment is present in the butt. Provenance: The TTT Collection

ConditionFine overall, the barrel and other German silver components remaining almost entirely bright while the primary blades show a faint shadow of the etched "Protector" motto, and other iron components show mostly a smooth grey patina with some scattered patches of light pitting. The grip scales are fine and have some scattered light handling marks and the right panel has a few moderate edge chips absent. Mechanically fine.
