13 1950s Corsicama

[drbiamonte]

please excuse the spelling if it was incorrect I started this thread because I have tremendous curiosity as to the status of this particular knife this is one that I did take pictures of on my Instagram account I paid $5000 for the knife I believe it was 2009 The knife is in perfect shape does anyone have any guests at to its value today does anyone else out there own one ? I so remember when I purchased this knife being told by one or two members I think they were the guys that wrote the big book about Italian Switchblade's that I was now part of the family that own a very rare piece of a knife history. I actually have in my possession one of the 13 inch blades that was actually in the book I noticed this because I saw that the nichs & scratches on my knife or identical to the one in the book and when I traced back to where I bought the knife from it was from one of the authors

hello hello BILL it is been quite sometime since we have corresponded you worked on quite a few of my knives in order to repair them or get them up to snuff and I appreciate the work you did back in those days if the value of the life has come down since then looks like i've lost money on the knife and yes everyone I will post a picture hopefully today
