Fabulous estate piece - a pocket knife custom made from an 1836 5 francs silver coin. Marked Louis Phillipe I Roi Des Francais. Made by Eloi Pernet of France. Has 3 tools - knife, file and scissors and all are easily extracted by pulling a ridge - not a spring mechanism. Some surface marks on the knife from friction of being pulled in and out of coin. File needs a good cleaning. Scissors are in great condition. Coin has been sliced into 2 thin pieces to make this pocket knife. VERY UNUSUAL - great for a coin collector!! Newer brass pocket knives by Eloi Pernet go for over $300. Cigar cutters go for $500. His pieces are highly sought after, especially older works of art like this coin knife. DOMESTIC SHIPPING ONLY History of Eloi Pernet: Charles Louis Eloi Pernet belonged to the third generation of knife makers in Biesles. In 1901, at the age of 12, he became an apprentice in a local cutlery. It was not until 1920 that Eloi decided to establish his own factory, - Eloi Pernet. With a small group of the best artisans he could find, Eloi quickly became renown for its craft. In 1925 Eloi won the "Meilleur Ouvrier de France" (Best Craftsman of France) award for a multi-blade knife. The following year, he and his artisans again won the "Meilleur Ouvier de France" award. The World began to take notice as Hermes, Dupont, Vuitton, and Dunhill all sought Eloi's fine craftsmanship.----------------------------------------------------------------- Payments : I appreciate immediate payment but will allow up to 5 days. PayPal is my preferred method of payment. For all others, please remit money orders by mail promptly and the same goes for e-checks through PayPal as those can take up to a week to clear. I do NOT accept personal checks or cashiers checks. Refunds : My items are used 95% of the time and t is expected wear and tear, tfore I don't do refunds. I list with lots of details and pictures so it is your responsibility to ask before bidding. If something does not fit, is not shiny, and new (when the item is listed as used), etc...I will not refund you. The ONLY time I refund you is if I have grossly mis-represented an item and it is no longer functional or wearable. If it is used and has some perfume smell or you see a deodorant spot, I will not refund you. If the problem can be fixed with washing, then it is still in good condition and usable. If I do refund you, I will refund ONLY the cost of the item, not the shipping. I've never had this happen but one time and it was because of this bidder and the nightmare she put me through that I have devised this policy. Shipping : I choose what method is the most economical for the size of the item. Large items will be sent via parcel post or ground. Otherwise if the item is small it will be sent via Priority mail or First Class mail. If you need something expedited then let me know and we can calculate additional shipping costs. Otherwise, I ship in a about a week after payment is cleared due to my scheduling and because some buyers have reversed payments after an item has shipped. Insurance is your option and you must ask for it. My invoice will be sent without insurance and only added if you request it. International Buyers : Unfortunately, I do not like to ship internationally. Most of my buyers from out of the country dispute the costs and time it takes when both are out of my control. If you are overseas and are interested in an item, please ask before bidding. I will review your feedback you have left for other US sellers and make a decision at that time. I will NOT ship large, heavy items Internationally. Feedback : If your feedback is below 98% do not bid please without asking me first. I will review your feedback to determine you are a reliable and responsible bidder. Most of my non-payers have had very poor feedback. That leaves me with the added task of relisting the item and having to pay additional fees. This is also unfair to others who wanted ...
