Just back from my silversmith's workshop where it has been professionally cleaned and polished and the handle re-gilded with gold, restoring it to it's former glory.

The blade has a lovely warm gun metal colour and is signed by the famous French fashion house, Hermes of Paris. Made exclusively by the French silversmith, Ravinet d'Enfert; it is also marked "Made In France".

Dating to c.1960, it remains in superb condition measuring 8" x 1 7/8" x 3/4". less
