This old knife seems to be in its original condition. I can't make out the name stamped on either of the blades ricassos. It looks like J. Copley & Sons. If anyone knows for sure I'd be interested to know.

Closed - 3"
Open both blades - 5 7/8"
Main blade - 1 1/2"
Secondary blade - 1 5/16"
Main blade - good snap open and closed - no half snap
Secondary blade - excellent snap including the half snap
Handle - ivory with a crack on the shield side

Yes , looks like J (John) Copley & Sons circa late 1800s or early 1900s IMO.
