Could someone identify this Instrument
Hello guys I found this tool in a flea market.
It clearly shows this a tool belongs to product of Perry and company. The of Birmingham Pen Co.
Can anyone have a idea what is this or why it carries the brand name of a Pen nibs???
Thank you for your help.
have a look at these Photos please...
CHEERS !!!

... looks like a letter opener from the pics that I can see properly...
Re: Could someone identify this Instrument
I agree that it looks like a letter opener. It appears to be bent in some of the photos. That could be from someone trying to open somethings else and bending in the effort if it is.

Looks like a prison grade shiv
Re: Could someone identify this Instrument
Is it just me or are there some tiny thumbnail images on there? Are they exactly the same as the bigger ones?
Re: Could someone identify this Instrument
Thank you guys !!!
@ Chrissy you are right. these are few images I found in a site. They are very bad and useless as with the images can't get any idea .
This is why the Telephone photography is bad sometimes.The thumb nail photo shows some thing but it not clear.
I think this is a letter opener Or could be a Post master 's dragger. :blink:

Thank you everyone who answered this. according to you I now guess it must be the same. It is about 8 inches long
This seems to be a letter opener made by PERRY AND CO. LTD. England. The nib company. I received this as a gift today :)

An ice pick was the shiv choice back then. Cheap, ubiquitous, and easily acquired.
Re: Could someone identify this Instrument
I think the bend is original to the opener.

I agree after seeing the second, more recent, set of photos.
It's actually a quite well designed tool.

My guess is tactical ice pick.
