<p>[QUOTE="jociadam, post: 138558, member: 2136"]A friend of mine has this and we are trying to figure out what it is. We have ABSOLUTELY no idea. She and her husband are Amish and they bought it at her husband's grandfather's estate sale. It comes in a little case with a form-fitted depression for the metal object. The case has a leather look at it is around 3 inches long. The device has a little trigger on one end and you can move it over until it catches, just like cocking a pistol. When you push the little lever on the top, the trigger releases with a little snap. There is a partially visible word on top of the case that we think may be in German. The 3rd or 4th letter appears to be a "w". The first character may be a "T", "J" or "F". On the back by the little pin or nipple looking area, there is "F. D." imprinted. What is this thing????[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
