Switchblade from Italy

[Fan.of.history]

Hello all, this is my first post but would like some help identifying this blade and possibly its worth as I may be looking to sell. I’ve had it a long time and only found out so much about it. It’s a Fiani Guido Frosolone Campobasso sorry for poor photos had to compress them. It is missing safety but I do have it.

Made by one of the masters. Great knife, I have one.

Take a few pix with somebodys iPhone and email to you at medium resolution.

Do NOT clean it, polish it, sharpen it, fix it, etc.
Any of this would drastically reduce the value of a scarce and valuable knife! This knife is worth getting restoration by a professional (like Bill)!

I don’t know much about compressing pictures, but that’s what it does to photos?

It's the rare "glow in the dark Frosolone!"

[Bill DeShivs]

I could probably tone it down a little bit.

It needs new handles.

[Pachinko799]

It does not need new handles.

Please excuse my ignorance here, but why does it need new scales? It looks like an old pre-ban piece, right?
---so wouldn't the value be severely reduced if the original scales are replaced? I don't see any real damage to them or anything.... or am I missing something?

[Pachinko799]

Yes, value would be greatly reduced with new scales. Makes absolutely no sense to
Replace them.

[Bill DeShivs]

It doesn't need new handles. It's an old joke.
