Need pictures for sure. These were often engraved with the owners' name after manufacture.

Bastet is probably the dealer that sold the knife, rather than the maker.

The knife is Belgian, not French. There are subtle differences.
Handles are ivory.

Re: Chatellerault switchblade marked T F BASTET AMSTERDAM
Probably a pretty desirable knife to a lot of people. Does the blade shut deep or does the blade tip stick up?

Re: Chatellerault switchblade marked T F BASTET AMSTERDAM
Can anyone give an idea of the age of this knife? Mid 19th century perhaps?
