8) Very nice collection Bernie! 8)

I appreciate you pulling these out and taking pictures. The picture at the bottom of page 3 is helpful also. If I understand what Bill and you described about the bolsters and liners being one piece I think the top knife pictured is an example. Is that correct?

The bottom knife shows separate bolsters and liners. Am I seeing those correctly?

Here are my 2 minis (and one a little bigger)! I think 2 came from Mr. Bernie and one is a bit older, one has a slip-in spring, the older-looking one has a dovetail. :D

The larger is from Mr. Bernie who said about them "i had some made a few yrs back that were red dot picklocks 4-3/4" made by Oreste DiBon, these were what i was told by Dibon family same size oreste made for the Mauro Mario co. back in the 1950's."

I REALLY like this little guy from a few years ago! Thanks again Folgore Knives! :D

Enjoy TB.
