ITALIAN SWITCHBLADES / LEVER LOCKS what do you have

Post by gino »

Here is my small but hopefully growing collection of Italian switches / leverlocks (and a Hubertus)

Sorry for the bad pics , I am the worst pic taker here I don't know what's up with my old camera (or me).

Please post some pics of what you have in your collection


I am always looking to buy or trade for Italian switches / leverlocks or any autos PM me if you have any you have grown tired of ;)


Thanks for looking
Gino

Thanks Gino :)

Here's a couple more.
The first is a 13" AKC and the second is a pretty rare 8" EIG Cutlery picklock from the 50's.

Gino here is a knife I posted a while back looking for information on it. One of the aapk members posted it was made in maniago italy. Another post, that it was imported into Britain. I'm sure the knife has had an interesting ride. It's a solid built knife in need of some work. There are some beautiful knives posted in this thread, thanks to everyone for sharing them. I have one other springer I will post sometime today.
