Buyer's premium:

A single-bladed folding knife, featuring iridescent mother-of-pearl handle scales secured by small metal pins. The blade is crafted from 925 silver and bears four distinct hallmarks: a crowned head (duty mark), a lion passant (standard mark), a lower-case ‘l’ within a shaped cartouche (date letter), and the maker’s initials “J Y C”. The presence of the crowned head duty mark indicates a production date prior to 1890, consistent with the Victorian era.
