It is ok
Hi Vinny,
It is AOK. Good age to the inner timbers, turtle shell veneer.
The knife is missing the end cap, likely ivory as the other parts. "Toothpick" it missing too, though check deep in side, sometimes they have the ends broken off and are pushed deep inside.
It would likely have an ear scoop and nail cleaner in there too and would have had a small bronze ring and a belt loop attached to the ring...I have a few around here, I'll try to get a few images posted.
