Champagne Muselet Knife In Solid Silver And Steel. Late 19th - Early 20th Century.

Rare and interesting silver-filled wire-muzzle cutter. It probably dates from the late 19th century, possibly the early 20th.

The slightly violin-shaped handle is decorated with wide fillets and rocaille cartouches. One of them is numbered JH (?).

The blade, strong and very curved, is used to cut wire-muzzles into cords.

It is marked "Paris".

The handle is hallmarked:
. Minerva, 1st grade, before 1973
. Silversmith's mark to identify: EC with a "triangle on a foot" (simplified fir tree; trowel; etc.?)

A very interesting piece, which is rare in this precious configuration with this silver handle.

18 cm long

85 grams gross. Very good condition. Minor scratches and traces of oxidation on the steel blade.
