auto knife

[Mr. Burns]

here is a springer lever lock knife, jigged bone and older than dirt, with shell puller on top for i believe 16ga.
made in solingen germany where they have been making the best steel for over 400 years.
this knife was used as a tool.a skinner a shell puller, as old paper shotgun shells are toasted upon firing, and the brass expands, sometimes you would use the shell puller of the knife to get the shell out.
this knive's manufacture is SPRINGER
this one came from a gent in benveniot france , could be wrong on the spelling , i do not speak or write french
