Fine Deakin & Francis (D&F) cigar cutter featuring two solid 9ct gold panels, each hallmarked 375 Birmingham 1948. The main body retains traces of its original gilding, giving a warm contrast against the polished gold panels.

This compact cutter measures 6 cm long and includes a double ring fitting, indicating it was designed to hang from a gentleman’s watch chain or fob. The mechanism folds smoothly, reflecting the precision workmanship typical of Deakin & Francis, one of Birmingham’s oldest and most respected jewellery and small‑work makers, established in 1786 and still operating today.

A collectible mid‑century accessory combining practical design with genuine gold detailing — ideal for cigar enthusiasts, watch‑chain collectors, and admirers of quality British craftsmanship.
