Imperial was founded in 1916-17 and ceased to exist in 2004.
 
the length of the knife is 2 3/4 closed, main blade is 1 3/8 long, small blade is 1 1/8. my opinion is that the handle is also sterling, could be wrong...
 
have no account on photobucket, one more thing about the knife, the gold ingot is .5 grams.
