Ok Bill ,
Heres another that I need some expertise on . Stamped INOX FRANCE and NOXI in a Circle . Has bone handles . This is an unususal auto . Pulling the tab/Lever on the side makes the blade fly open . The Tab / Lever on the side is stamped BREVETE S.G.D.G. and P.V.616.726 . Any idea how old this might be ? Its a handful of a knife . Why would they make the release lever on the side It seems to be such an awkward place .
"Why would they make the release lever on the side? It seems to be such an awkward place." They're French! The French do some strange things. This looks to be a backspring release knife. I have never seen this particular mechanism, but the knife pattern is pretty standard. I would date it as 1960-1975-just an educated guess. It's a very different piece!
