Case pocket knife WW2 era
Provenance can turn a mundane item into something a bit more interesting. Here's a Case pocket knife with provenance. My grandfather who served in the Pacific during WW2 got this from an American serviceman he met, possibly a Marine or Navy man. It may have been swapped for some piece of NZ kit or another knife. My grandfather never said and I never asked. It survived the war and less well my childhood where I broke off the lift arm on the can opener tool. I presume hard brittle steel.
Nice piece of family history!
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Nice, but I bet you broke off the lift arm opening up the tinnies of beer on the sly!!
