Sweet auto MB. Seems that over the years a lot of these had the letter openers ground off. Hard to find such a nice survivor. Wish I had one to share.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Thanks Wayne, you're right a lot of unscrupulous knife dealers back in the day did exactly that. Nobody wanted a letter opener but a single blade switchblade was another story and would command much more money.
