Previous Category Item Next Category Item

A rare example of a small virginal speculum of the Ricord type marked "Charriere". This modified bi-valve vaginal speculum with crosshatched ebony handles is in very good condition. The pivot joint may have had an old repair. Dated to the early 19th C. A retaining screw with graduated markings limits the expansion of the blades.
