RAF 'rigger made' letter opener

RAF 'rigger made' letter opener

Code: M23274

SOLD

Letter opener in the form of a sword with a King's crown RAF pilot wing as the guard.  Approximately 22.5cm in length and 8cm span.  The handle and 'blade' appear to be steel, the former with a brass insert.  The guard is probably aircraft alloy.  This item was almost certainly made by an aircraft rigger using offcuts in the RAF station workshop.  A well made and useful item.  Stock code M23274.
