This is one of my favorate styles of these. I probably belonged to a naval officer from the 1860's. I love the nautical theme. One of my larger mistakes was not buying one of these that was handengraved. I didn't realize how much that added on to the price. These have always been a good seller, because the majority of these were considered to have been carried by gamblers who used these to make a quick getaway. Courtesy of Rick Wagner
