Ivory Rectal Speculum

 
A superb rectal speculum with hand carved ivory handle and unplated steel tri-valve blade mechanisms. By rotating the ornately carved ivory handle the three blades extend or retract. The instrument is of very high build quality. It is unsigned but there is an identical piece in a fitted case signed by Weiss who is undoubtedly the maker.
