Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

If anyone here rides or owns a Vespa, especially a vintage or antique Vespa---I own an antique La Vespa knife from the 1940s.  It was one of those Not On Shelf knives.

It is a 2 blade Mother of Pearl (looks to be imitation even though it's nearly 75 years old.  It's 3.75" closed with no bolsters, but a brass bail at the end where the short lade pivots.

The blades are a bit tight, because it has been sitting in a drawer in a store somewhere for those 70+ years.  I've been putting some Hoppe's on it but don't like to work too much on something I expect to sell.

If there isn't someone here with a need for a nice La Vespa I will probaly put it on eBay.  If I rode an old white Vespa I would stash it in the carryall.  But Vespa's aren't my style, although an antique would be nice to own.

If anyone wants a pic I will post one or two.  Thanks!!
