Beautiful collection, Allen! I'm apparently spending too much time on FB, as I keep looking for the "thumbs up" button! lol

Thanks Bill!

Nice. Looks to be Italian made for the German importer?

I know what you mean. They certainly attracted us as kids wishing they were switchblades. Here's a couple favorites from my small collection...

Nice! I don’t have a single 4 pin mini like those. They fetch a good buck ($).

The Japanese copied the Italian picklocks with these in the 50's. Then, they copied the Italian swinguards in the 60's with the Rizzuto Estileto Milano. They usually seem to stay under $200, with a few exceptions.

Beautiful! I believe Bill just restored one very much like that. I learned there’s some sort of pearl laminate over the celluloid (if I understood correctly). Or, maybe the pearl was over horn(?). I’m losing my memory.

The newest run of Renzo Pascotto flatguards (etched with Dolphins on the back) are 35cm, but there are also “Dolphin” knives by Beltrame and Massaro in s...

I’m sure there must be a way to wrap those knuckles around your fingers and deploy the blades, but I just can’t figure it out . I think the knuckle OTF’s would be much easier.

Very nice Latama!

A beauty, Jim!

Nice! I have a similar example stamped Jndiana Extra, also Italian, that I believe I paid in excess of $350 for. It’s been a while, so I think that’s what I paid. So, you stole that one! .

Looks like it sold within 24 hours. I tried.

Hello friends, I’m looking to add a Dalton Cupid to the collection. Looking for any Cupid outside of the mini. Willing to pay top dollar and in any condition. Thanks fellas! There's a nice one on BladeForum for a decent price. May go quick! https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/dalton-cupid-550-micro...

lol... Who is making these high quality Black Widow's for Angelo you think?

For some reason, I keep thinking Lepre has something to do with them, though I could be mistaken.
