Thisis a very scarce early English folding dagger, knife, dirk. It measures 9 1/4" overall - is 5" folded with a 4 1/4" blade. This pre-civil war knife was made and is marked by "John Brown & Co., Columbia Works" with " W (crown) R" mark. John Brown & Co. is listed as being in business ca. 1830 - 1839. It has German silver guard, pommel and shield in mother of pearl handles. MOP handles are mounted as two pieces per side, held in place by small German silver pins. The knife has brass bolsters on the interior. The small button on the side is to release the blade. The blade is fine and unsharpened with no pitting but some minor discoloration. The tip is very slightly blunted and could be corrected but we DID NOT want to make that correction. The blade locks in place when open. PLEASE SEE PICTURES FOR MORE DETAILS KNIFE will be packed in a CARDBOARD box and sent by First Class Mail at a cost of $3.00. Canada and overseas rates are higher. Please inquire. I accept ONLY PayPal as the payment method for items that are to beshipped out of the United States. PLEASE do not try to pay by any other method To all bidders / lookers. Please remember that this knife is about 175 years old. I have received questions concerning whether the blade "snaps" back into place after being opened and whether t is any "wobble" or "wiggle" when it is locked read more
