It appears to be Spanish and dating to the last quarter of the 19th century.
There is a very similar one in Forton's Antique Clasp Knive's, on page 23, item 022. The English annotation reads as follows: 19th century clasp knife. It has bullhorn scales with lines of brass rivets, a ring closing mechanism and a four faced blade with a cutler's mark resembling a castle and the capital letter F. I will add that the lock is typically Spanish and the ring pull became popular around 1875. Cheers Chris Last edited by Chris Evans; 18th July 2021 at 06:57 AM. |
