The listing, Old Letter Opener / Original Unknown has ended.
Ended up with this old letter opener somewhere along the line, no clue what it's made out of aside from some type of metal, and there don't seem to be any manufacturing marks on it except for the word "Mauser" stamped into one side of the blade. Some of the coloring has worn off the handle, and looks like there might be a little light surface rust on the handle as well. The tip is bent from me using it for a pry-bar or screwdriver when I couldn't find one, lol. Not pretty :-) but an interesting piece if you're into this kind of thing. I AM curious if anyone would have any idea of it origins. Free shipping with tracking. Thanks for looking and happy bidding! ~ Theresa ~
