I don't know about Imperial of Germany, but I come across similar little pen knives from time to time. The bottom one in this picture with the carved pearl is marked Wismar, Germany. I'll have to dig it out to see if it has integral bolsters.If anybody has any information on this knife please let me know!
Hope everyone is ready for summer!!!![]()
Going to carry my Davison this week. Maybe slip a Case Peanut into my watch pocket for any dirty work.
I love Case stag from that era. Those are two beautiful knives.
"The One"
The knife is a beaut but I keep admiring that whistle in your posts!May I ask what make is the mini-revolver?

Oh my...well done indeed ! I will have to look that one up !!
Been quite some time since i had a new one in my pocket. The past few days I've been getting acquainted with this 35 Calf pen, first thing I did was to knock off a bit of steel from the outrageously sharp top point on the catch part of the one armed blade. I'm really liking this knife a lot and plan to carry it for the foreseeable future and let the heat of summer and my sweat do their magic and create some patina and rust spots on it.

After some tinkering, I'm giving this Imperial from Trevor (t.willy ) a test run today. Thanks, Trevor!
