The Ultimate Cigar Cutter  ( aka " The Big Tusker )

    This is the ultimate cigar cutter having a length of  ≈ 35 cm.  It is  ( pre - ban circa 1900 ) and either Elephant Ivory or Walrus Tusk from a damn big Walrus .  The ivory has taken on a nice yellow tinge and has age striations as it should.  The coat of arms was traced by a friend to a family named Krieger.  This piece would make a super desk ornament or accent piece, the cutting portion is loose but functional and it slides in and out and up and down.   The new owner may want to have this repaired however it does not detract from the overall beauty.  The  metal is unmarked but has taken on a beautiful patina.         Excellent -        Please Note :  Anything with Ivory, or tusks etc & related material I would rather not ship out of the U. S. A.  due to Customs issues, including impounding the item fines and ultimately destruction of the item even though I only sell "Pre-Ban Ivory" I cannot prove so.  Should you insist that I ship an item such as the one below, I will not be responsible for the items delivery, cost or anything related to that item once it leaves the U. S. A.  Sorry  Matt

Cased WW I German Red Cross Medal

    Silver Red Cross Medal complete with the case and ≈ 30 mm of ribbon.  The overall condition of the medal and ribbon are mint.  The medal has fine rich patina from 80 + years of storage.  A common award, uncommon condition with the original case of issue.  The case is in very good condition considering the age.  The button and catch are intact and functional, the hinge is separated.  Still a seldom encountered combination.     Very Good
