Latama 11 inch flat guard
This is my first Latama 11 inch, flat guard. I really like the horn on this one.

Has the horn been replaced?
Re: Latama 11 inch flat guard
Thanks, John.
The horn has not been replaced. The whole knife is in good condition, not just the horn. There are two small cracks in the horn on the back.

Amazing how a knife made in the 1940's could look so good.
It had to be a sock drawer queen.
Do you know any of the history?

Jeff, I used to own that knife, I bought it about 17 years ago, then passed it on to a friend a few years ago. That is the original horn the only thing that was done to that knife was that it was surface cleaned. And anyone that knows me knows I didn’t clean it but it’s still a very beautiful Latama Flatguard
