superb antique brass figural letter opener paper knife owl c1900

Description

A fine and charming figural letter opener or paper knife made from solid cast brass with a novelty Owl terminal. The blade is signed, it is hard to make out but ends in ... mann, so I would imagine Austrian in origin.
The owl is beautifully executed and retaining his two original glass eyes.
