Alexander Sturm letter opener - Austria
this silver letter opener was made in Wien (Austria) by silversmith Alexander Sturm around 1925.The top is cast with a scene of a mountain landscape and, I believe, was originally a medal.
The letter opener is 6 1/4 in. long (cm. 16) and was bought from an US dealer through the Internet.
