Not a true switch...call it a "Semi-Auto" - ever seen one like it?

Recent antique show find - I have never seen one like it.
Sterling silver handles.
The center band slides - each blade has a hidden inner spring (not like the center-pinned spring like on a Schrade double button).
When you slide the band toward one end, the opposite end blade opens automatically to a partially open position so that you can open the blade manually all the way. Each blade works that way.
Note the unusual tang stam- small blade marked GERMANY but I have never seen the stamp (pictuured) on the large blade before.
