    It would make an unusual and distinctive murder weapon. Otherwise I'd say it is just a paperknife. The advanced model opens e-mails as well.

    No EP or EPNS with the Ha Ea Fa? Then it never had plating to begin with.

    No "melt value" for sure. Whether there is any interest in it as memorabilia you'll need to search online - GB or Commonwealth country sites, I would think.

    Looks like the HA EA FA, each in its own cartouche (as the paper mentions.)
