This one is stamped "Coricama Made in Italy" Coricama stands for COltellerie RIunite di CAslino e di MAniago thats about all I know about it.
Closed length 9.5cm The blades are plated- you can see the color change on the edge. The scales are horn with brass liners and pins with nickel bolsters. Does anyone have any info regarding age etc.?
Thanks, Paul

Paul:
Is it truly a subminiature or did you mean cm. If in fact it is a sub it is exquisite. As a full size it is nice also.

Moss- that was my weak attempt at the metric system! lets say 3 7/8" :oops:

I'm sorry I can't add any more information to what you already know but I do have to say that it's a real beauty and one I have never seen before...

Thanks for sharing,

Thanks Sunburst and s-k ! I do like the "Hobo" pattern but they tend to be way out of my price range, I got lucky on this one.
