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.Jackalope wrote: ↑Thu Nov 05, 2020 1:13 amWould love to see them.

JV, Another nice one.
One day you have to school me on finding stilettos.

Can't get my images to display inline, but here they are. Actually eleven knives. Don't know where I put the twelfth one.Jackalope wrote: ↑Thu Nov 05, 2020 1:13 amWould love to see them.
