Hello there.
Some of you may have read my post about a little old lady coming to my office with a 13 inch horn handled rare Latama Switchblade that she was left by her deceased husband. My knowledge of vintage switchblades is more centered around American knives. The knife appears to have never been sharpened, has beautiful horn handles, and has never been cleaned or polished. It does have an issue where it will only stay closed properly with the safety ON. I was quoted $250 to repair this by Walt at Latama.net. I figured that it would be better for someone who is a collector of this particular knife to be the one to do this or not do this, and I have decided to sell the knife to a collector who can truly appreciate it. I would like $1500 for the knife. I am CONUS, and NOT a "dealer" of Sorts. I took a few pics that to me, really do not do the knife justice. I am not interested in trades EXCEPT PERHAPS a Kabar Grizzly or Case auto. Here are some pics. Knife is located in Alabama (Where little old ladies have 13 inch vintage switchblades)
