Agree with Bill....Spain...Saw them all over Madrid and Toledo in the 1970s....I was in a factory as part of a tourist tour and saw this style and others being put together. As to value? Who knows as they are pretty rare for some reason. They were every where back then, and my friend got a similar one in Mexico in the 70s too.....

Hi Doc,
I've never seen that model. It's awesome :!: Wicked cool :!: What are the scales made from? They look like dyed black stag?

Black plastic handles. This model seemed to work better than most D/A OTFs from the era.

Sure is slick action, been playing with it and it has a lot of guts. Wouldn't want to be in front of it when it goes off.

Black Plastic handles...I saw them apart. They are nice ones for sure. The same company made one with a slim handle and round top where the blade came out. They were in every store in Spain in the 70s, but I have only seen one in the last several years for sale.....Not sure why more of them are not still around.
