1814 ANTIQUE Engraved SPAIN / FERDINAND VII Folding POCKET KNIFE Museum Quality
Antique 19th Century European folding knife.
Thanks to a fellow ebayer for this information: This knife was possibly commemorating Spain's return to an absolute Monarchy. On the 4th of May 1814, King Ferdinand VII signed the decree to reject the Constitution of 1812.
An interesting knife, and certainly worthy of further research.
Condition is remarkable. This knife is over 200 years old!
Sorry to say that I have no history on this piece, but it is all original, with period engraving, including the date, 1814.
I have been unable to identify the touchmark on the blade, but this knife is exceptional, and certainly worthy of further research.
Unusual bullnose spring, as shown in close-up pic. Hinge is tight, with lots of "snap." (nothing loose)
Knife measures 4 3/4" long folded, and 8 5/8" unfolded.
Knife is being sold just as-found, untouched, with original patina, and no hidden damage or repairs.
Guaranteed to be antique and original, and not a reproduction.
