Malteseflatguard

Post by Lucentcrow »

Hi all

I was watching a YouTube video a while ago of a man that had a collection of latama of various sizes but he said he’d like to own a Maltese flatguard but they are very rare.

I would imagine malteseflatguard might know I just can’t find a picture of one.

Thanks guys

Joe

Nearly impossible to find in the USA. They are some of the coolest and best Italian Switchblade knives ever made.

99% of collectors in the USA will never even see or hold a real one or let alone own one...

There are several in “The Art of The Switchblade.”
I’ll dig out some pictures and try to lost some

Any antique Maltese Cross is a dream knife for sure but the from going back to 1887-1907 are by far the greatest Italian stilettos ever made.

Notice the big round firing button but thin flat safety cap. Safety caps on S Coop models are flat and thin and sometimes oval shaped as well. If you see a giant dome shaped safety cap you’ll tell pretty fast if it’s been added and redone.

Do you have the power to ban people? I tried to sign in three times and it said in red font “you are permanently banned...”
