'more than likely Anne it's off a chatelaine'

Ooooh finally found something similar here: http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/9181627

And with the help of my lovely new(ish) scanner, I have better pics of the hallmark and maker's mark.

I asked on the 925-1000.com website about the hallmark and maker's mark, and now know what this is! It's called a coin knife, made by Eloi Pernet sometime after 1920... see currently made ones here: http://fujipub.com/eloi/coinknives.html. :)
