The Captain likes uncertainty I guess. Just bought this and little is known about it other than it was made in France probably 80 years ago or so. I don't even know what blade is used in it. Based on the pics can you help me out here? I believe it is silver as it seems to be tarnished in the way silver does. It appears that the blade may be locked into place by rotating the knob on the bottom which may be how the square inset is rotated into position. Note the two positions in the first two pictures.
I bought it since it is such an odd looking thing and who knows?
