Pricey Knife On Antiques Roadshow UK

Post by RobesonsRme.com »

This was broadcast in 2015.

Fast Forward to the 52:40 time mark to see just the knife or watch the whole program. I did. ::tu::

Rate of exchange in 2015 for one Pound Sterling equaled +/- $1.50 US.

So, 60 to 80 thousand Pounds equaled 90,000 to 120,000 dollars.

Obviously an exceptional knife. I can understand why this would be especially desirable to the Russians. They love exquisitely beautiful mechanical pieces like the famous Faberge Eggs.

Beautiful and extraordinary little knife. Thanks for posting.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
