Antique silver travel knife in rye leather sheath.

The silver handle is beautifully decorated with images of female figures on both sides. One figure depicts wisdom with a stick and a book. The stick was the symbol of the earthly pilgrimage. The book represents study and wisdom. On the other hand, the female figure depicts trust with an anchor and a bird together symbolizing a casual faith. Anchor represents hope, the bird represents otherworldly freedom. The handle has a dog as a crowning mark as a sign of loyalty.

Marked with the second hallmark (lion), the hallmark of the hallmark of Alkmaar. Master's mark of N. Reek from Hoorn who used this signature between 1823 - 1853 and the year letter O from 1848. Also equipped with a case of green colored stingray leather (somewhat bumped and a small tear line) finished with a silver end piece. The case has also been hallmarked with both the sword and the master hallmark of the silversmith N. Reek.

Dimensions of the knife are 18.5 cm. Incl. case 20 cm
