    WOW...55 year old Polish " Coronation Sword" Letter opener.  What a great find in original box with inserts and has not been removed from original box.
    Imprinted inside the case:
    Millenium 966-1966 Comemorative Piece
    SZCZERBIEC KING CORONATION SWORD
    From the insert:
    "The coronation sword of the Kings of Poland, called, Szczerbiec (the notched sword) is a unique masterpiece of armourer's art from the first half of the 13th century....it is one of the few surviving Polish Royal Insignia and is considered to be the priciple relic of the restored Royal Treasury of the Wewel Castle."
    A truly great piece of history!
    I did not remove from the backing to take photos - leave removal to new owner's discretion.
