The ricasso is marked "SLATER" below the maker's signature beehive logo. Blade exhibits a moderate gray patina with legible marking. Ornate crossguard that bears the motto "LIBERTY AND UNION" on each side. Bone grip scales are held in place by 4 pins and exhibit handling wear. Domed pommel with grapevine motifs. Folding mechanism is a bit stiff but functions properly. CONDITION: Good.
Item Dimensions: 4 - 3/4"
