Description:

The German silver barrel is marked "UNWIN & RODGERS/PATENTEES. SHEFFIELD" on the left flat and "NON*XLL" on the right flat with the upper left flat having two British proofs. The 2 inch blade and the 3 1/4 inch clip blade are marked "UNWIN &/RODGERS/PATENT" on the left ricasso. The clip point blade also has an etched scroll and eagle pattern with "SELF/PROTECTOR" on the left side. Cocking the hammer opens the breech for loading/unloading with the ears on the extractor acting as a rear sight. The knives and pistol are enclosed in a German silver case. It has a folding lid compartment for caps on the back strap. The scales are smooth stag.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. Most of the German silver remains showing some minor handling marks. The blades are very fine with crisp acid etching with the balance a mottled gray patina. The scales are fine with a few missing surface chips, a repaired chip near the butt and some minor handling marks. The stag has a very attractive color and pattern. Mechanically fine.
