Antique Victorian Amputation Knife with Checkered Grip & Green Scapular, 19th Century Surgical

A long straight amputation knife with checkered grip, blade maker-stamped, carried with a green cloth scapular bearing a crucifix and the inscription of the devotional badge. The pairing of the surgeon's knife with a scapular — worn as protection in the hour of death — makes for a remarkable and poignant object.
