it is in untouched condition ....comments welcomed

Nice find

I am curious what you mean by "untouched condition" as there appears to be a big chip/dent on one side and the edge of the smaller blade looks pretty rough.

I think he means it has not been cleaned up. Pretty knife! A keeper.

... the blades have normal patina for a carbon steel blade that has not been polished... no edge loss, it has not been sharpened... the "chip" is a dent that sometimes is seen in old celluloid that is hollow below the surface...

Got it. Thanks.

Pretty cool little switch. What is the closed length?

... closed length is 3 3/8" ... with both blades open is 7",...
