Great knives elkabong Great start I absolutely love Massaro italian leverlocks ,they are great fast openers and solid knives. The stag is imitation but i think it looks cool on these knives. I love the super automatics and havn't got one myself yet. They are a must in any collection of switchblades....

Nice clean example Bruce Much better condition than the one i posted. The takedown examples seem to bring more money and i love the blued parts contrasting with the shiny blade but the 1st patterns look great in that clean condition and good order. I wish i could pick one up for that money nowadays ...

Bruce Thats a beautiful SS dagger and in super condition. I love the belt clip aswell they are becoming very difficult to find . I have a great interest in these daggers but the price they are achieving is amazing .Wish i had started collecting them in the early 80s ,they were plentiful in many mili...

Bill great info I have the eickhorn model somewhere with beer bottle opener bolster . When i find it i will post it if interested It nearly took my fingers off taking it apart once .when it felt jammed ....i had 6 stitches ,its frighteningly sharp. Its not a patch on the fine build quality gravity k...

BruceS Thats a beautiful example. I havnt seen an original lanyard for some time they are becoming very rare. Thats in the condition i dream about ,im afraid mines an old used and abused example . I have always wanted the takedown version of this knife but had to settle for a Bund example from the m...

Hello still77 Glad you found this place and welcome my freind. Thats a really nice interesting knife thanks for sharing it with us here as i hadn't seen one before. I believe that in italian BREVETATTO has the meaning of" tried and tested "or "patent" The only other knife i could find with this mark...

I'll second that Tom. Beautiful looking knife. They always seem to have killer stag and look high quality ,nicely inscribed nickle silver bolster and beautiful coffin shaped handle . I love gravity knives and have a few german military specimens but the civilian ones from France and Germany like the...

Tom Unsco was an American importer of knives post 1950. That knife looks like a grafrath to my eyes with the import stamp but it could be any german maker that actually made this style of gravity knife . I love those gravity knives and i think it was a great buy but they dont show up often this side...

Thanks blademan for the source of the knife

I must get a modern quality switchblade in my collection at one point and i really love that knife of yours.

Take care
Ian

Blademan Thats a beautiful knife . 8) Was that available this side of the pond if you dont mind me asking. I really love the wasp body and the horn is superb ,i love the campolin stamp , thick slip in backspring there is nothing i would change on that knife my freind. Its a modern day 50s picklock m...

Peter Nice little pocket knife. Firstly how long is the inife What stamp is on the blade to say its British?I have a needhams repeater but with cigar scales and its a similar age,probably victorian or edwardian. Is the backspring file decorated? It's definitely worth something and I love the shape o...

Elan I don't know the value of this froselone as ive never seen one for sale where i live,and search but it will be worth a pleasant surprise to you i 'll wager. Did you try the search on google and here as i suggested. There will be more replies here later by other members who know more about these...

Thank you John

I bought this as it was a clipoint but the stag attracted me to it first.

I hope all is well with you my freind.
Its good to hear from you.
All the best
Ian

Elan Absolutely beautiful knife! There is an excellent write up on google about rocco petrunti and his apprentices of Froselone , one of which was named Pisticelli ,and a freind of his was named Gelomino Pisticelli.(Sorry if spelled wrong) I am only a novice my freind but type in "froselone campobas...
