The prodigal blade

Post by missaman »

There was once a 13 inch Wandy switchblade that wanted to see the country. It whored its self out to 10 members here. Ah the adventures it must have had.
It finally settled in commieforina.
Mr Bonzo sent me a note that it was yearning for home. It did not like bean sprouts and electric cars.
Think about it, what switchblade would not love to live in da hood :idea:
Mr. Bonzo arranged for safe passage.
It arrived wednesday :mrgreen:

Mr. 45.
Roughly 1958 to 1963 Import stamp for some Italian stelletos.
There were many
Latama
red rose
zoppis
rosco
M Italy
Mauser
And many more than I can list.
Get a copy of Switchblades of Italy they have a long list. They have approx. 70 or so stamps listed
You would be hard pressed to find a stamp from each Importer.
My favorite is Mauser.... It has three monkeys see no evil speak no evil hear no evil...
Maybe a member can post a pic of the stamp
