Its on ebay as we speak...I am going to try and win it..but I'm afraid it will go a bit out of my range because of its rarity. :(
I have never seen a congress pattern with these type blades before either.....very unusual. ::shrug::

I just found this W H Morley so I thought I would just add it to this thread.
Nice looking scales and the blades look pretty good. Just needs a big clean-up.

Looking at the import dates from above, does that mean this knife dates back to that time?
(1913 - 1925)

Thanks Dan!
Sure looks like real mother of pearl on the handles. Looks too good to be mother of toilet seat.
