I seem to remember a series of 14cm picklocks Oreste made just before he died.

Around that same time I contracted with his nephew (I think) for a series of twelve 16cm swivel bolsters in twelve different colors -- from dark horn, light horn and stag to green, orange and purple. It's a cool set.

I was finally able to acquire a 4.75" (12cm) with the Mauro Mario stamp and Ram Horn. Very happy!

I think I have a somewhat crappy low-res photo on my computer at work. I'll see if I can find it when I get back in the office.

Can't get my images to display inline, but here they are. Actually eleven knives. Don't know where I put the twelfth one.
