Vintage Wwii Collectors Art R. J. Richter 1963-1978 3 Blade Congress Pocket Knife
VINTAGE RARE COLLECTORS XTRA SPECIAL EDITION. MANUFACTURED IN GERMANY BY R. I FOUND A BIT OF CONFUSION AROUND THE RICHTER NAME. THERE IS A KNIFE COMPANY IN SWEDEN AND ONE IN NETHERLANDS. USING THE SAME RICHTER NAME. HOWEVER IT SEEMS THAT SWEDEN AND NETHERLANDS USED THE RICHTER NAME LONG BEFORE SOLINGEN GERMANY USED IT.
LIKE I SAID I DIDN'T FIND MUCH INFORMATION ON THE RICHTER NAME. I CAN SEND THE LINK UPON REQUEST.. THIS IS A VERY WELL MADE PIECE OF ART AND HISTORY... I PICKED THIS ONE UP SEVERAL YEARS AGO FROM AND FELLOW COLLECTOR WHO HAD PASSED AWAY AND LEFT HIS KNIFE COLLECTION TO HIS SISTER AND HER HUSBAND... WHAT AN AMAZING COLLECTION THIS FELLOW HAD.
I WAS ON A TREASURE HUNT FOR DAYS. WHAT AMAZES ME THE MOST IS THE RICH HISTORY CUTLERY HAS HAD FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. A VERY WELL BUILT KNIFE. TO NOTE THE BLADE ARRANGEMENT IS UNIQUE AS IS THE PATTERN. BY THE SHAPE, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A CONGRESS BUT THE CONGRESS HAS 4 BLADES AND THIS ONE ONLY HAS 3 BLADES.
IT IS AN ORIGINAL AND UNIQUE PIECE OF COLLECTOR'S ART.. THE BLADES ARE HALF STOP. THE SNAP WALK AND SNAP TALK, LIKE NEW...THE BLADES ARE FACTORY FINISH AND NEVER USED. I RATE THIS KNIFE IN EXCELLENT MINT CONDITION... CONSISTENT WITH AGE AND NO-USE..
These words do not mean QUALITY, do not confuse things of this nature with assuming all are QUALITY. Some models that are VINTAGE AND RARE are very well made however there are also models that are not. The price has nothing to do with how it is made and has everything to do with COLLECTIBLE and RARE and nothing to do with QUALITY. If you are not familiar with VINTAGE OR RARE OR ANTIQUE items then ask questions.
Think about a VINTAGE AND RARE MODEL T, is that quality and well-made vs. A 2015 Mercedes Benz G63? There are many rare models that are hard to find because they were not quality and broke so there are few left in existence making it rare.Buyers that are extremely picky or anal OR mean and nasty, I suggest should shop in person at local shows so you can see the items first hand. You will receive the exact item in the pictures. If there is a sheath or a box, it will be in the pictures. I try to describe these items as accurately as I can.
If I overlook something, I'll take responsibility for that and do what I can to make it right. I stand behind these items and anything else that is within my control.
