Swing guard, I get it. Button, I get it. I've not seen a lockback auto before... is this like a super rare one? Is it the tang stamp... patent on one side, I think I saw inoxid on the other...
Please share some knowledge, thank you

Most swinguards are closed by lockback. I think this seller's date may be off. I believe it's from the 1960's. It's nice.

Yeah, that is actually the more common model of swinger. Besides for Rizzutos, there are very few bo/c swingers.

I think that one is actually an 8", not a 9". It's a good one, though.

Good 'ole Bay buyers are going to have that piece up well over $300. You're bid was actually a price of the actual value IMO. At least you know when to stop...for now lol.
