Featured Antique ebony letter opener

Hi all,this was basically free (because it is cracked I suppose) I found a similar item listed as a Edwardian ebony page turner or letter opener. Is that what it is? The monogram is sterling silver (I think) It’s 15cm in length. Any thoughts? Is this a proper/real monogram? (I can’t decipher it) At first I thought it is a much more recent item and the monogram was ‘made-up’ Thank you

 

It's a grouping of PSC or PSG.
I rotated the image.

 

Interesting. Appreciate the information.
Thank you

 

nice find...

 

Thanks Komokwa

 

Lovely!!!!! And what I was thinking I saw was a "C", "S", and a "D" !! Sometimes they can be difficult to decipher!!! BUT after seeing it flipped, I was wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry!!

 

Very nice, and the use of ebony could mean it was made in (South) Africa.
But it looks like a paper knife rather than a letter opener to me. Letter openers are thinner. Paper knives were used to cut book pages that weren't cut by the printer.

 

So paper knife. Interesting. Thanks AJ

 

I thought that as well , because it's wood..... but at 15cm..... rather small for a page cutter....

something like this is 15 1/2 inches.

 

That’s impressive in size. Beautiful handle

 

older books.....were larger than they are now........ and u wanted a really clean cut.... but the raised mono gram to me.... says desk set letter opener...
