Description:

This combination pocket knife and pistol piece was manufactured in England in the second half of the 19th century. It has a finely scroll engraved German silver barrel bolster, folding trigger shield, 3 1/4 inch spear point blade, 2 inch clip point blade, and horn scaled body with engraved fittings, compartment in the butt, German silver tweezers, and an iron bullet mold. Both blades are marked "NON-XLL/UNWIN &/RODGERS/PATENT" on the left ricassos.

Rating Definition:

Fine. The German silver and brass components have an aged patina, and the blades and other iron components have a mottled gray patina and some light pitting. The etching is lightly visible on the blades. The scales are very good and have some small dings and marks. The action functions fine.
