A rare and historically significant gynecological instrument from the prestigious Posinger workshop in Vienna. This 28cm speculum originates from the "Second Viennese Medical School" era, a time when Austria led the world in surgical and gynecological innovation.
 
The instrument is characterised by its elegant "duck-bill" blade and high quality chromium plating and weighty feel. Deeply stamped with the 'Posinger Wein' (Vienna), mark, the piece showcases a level of metallurgical craft far superior to standard mass-produced tools of the period. For collectors of specialised medical history, this is a premium specimen from a high quality European instrument maker.
