Original U.S. 1890s “Gambler” Side Knife with Mother of Pearl Grips in Scabbard - Romo, Solingen

Original Item. Only One Available. This is a lovely little side knife dating to the 1880s or 1890s, with very pretty mother of pearl grips and a silver spacer. The ricasso is stamped ROMO on one side and SOLINGEN / GERMANY on the other.

The 4 ¾” blade shows heavy sharpening and use. The crossguard is still tight, and the knife measures 8 ⅜” overall.

The scabbard is in fair condition with small brass drag but the belt loop’s securing strap is entirely gone. 

A lovely “gambler’s” knife, ready for display.
