Jewish Historical Abraham Wendes Cutlery 1745 to 1937 pre WW2 Display Knife See Text 2 pages
This Display Knife is 19 inches long (wow). It has two pages of text filed in the photo album which certify it as a pre WW2 knife. I will let the texts (one written in German) describe the historical background. Pictures show much more detail when you press enlarge

The 19 inch dimension is open-tip to tip / blades open on opposite ends. The deer that grew the stag was a big boy. Compare the size to a Case peanut.

!!! .. Nice knife .. !!!
The 19" dimension .. is that the OAL .. closed or open ???
Either way .. an impressive chunk of stag was required to scale this knife.
