Antique Fleam. Unusual Small Engraved Brass Civil War Era Fleam w Leather Case
This is an excellent little Civil War Era brass and steal fleam, with unusually ornate engraving. The fleam itself is in very good condition, the blade is sharp, and there is a lot of tension in the spring. The leather case is solid, but shows signs of wear and use and has even been roughly hand mended, showing how valued it was to it's owner at one point.

All of which add to it's charm and authenticity in my opinion, but might not be for everyone. I don't know how to cock, lock and fire the blade and don't want to risk breaking it, so, if someone would like to tell me how to safely test that I will.
