Original Vintage 1950's Italian Classic "M ITALY" "Picklock" with Brazilian Horn & Bayonet Blade

Features beautiful Genuine Brazilian Horn Handles with a mirror polished BAYONET Styled Blade. Tang is marked "M ITALY INOX" in an oval circle.  Brass lined Nickel Silver bolsters. Features superb action and excellent lockup.

6 1/8" Mirror polished Blade is clean and full. Picklock design; means you must take your index finger and thumb and pull back where the blade locks to unlock it, (modern classics have the swivel bolster release design). 

Vintage classics such as these are becoming increasingly hard to obtain, they are much heavier constructed with extra thick (5mm) backsprings and blades, and thicker liners.  You can feel the weight difference; (This model weighs 7.7 oz). Heavier with slightly thicker construction than most picklocks we've seen; plus slightly longer.  

This model does not have a drop in spring. Measures 7 1/8" closed. A fine example of a vintage Italian classic.  Horn Handles are nicely colored . Safety is fully functional. Overall Very Good-Excellent condition. A superb example of early switchblade history for the finest collection. Includes a custom zippered pouch.
