Please help identify this 84mm (Maybe a mod?)

I watch ebay for 84mm scissors, putting bids here and there if they're cheap enough, and hoping I win something someday.. I finally did today, but it has me stumped. Any clue what this is?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/350511185614

Seller claims it's 84mm, and he's usually reliable. It's a 2-layer knife with:
Victoria large/small blade(clip point blade or something else? not a combo tool, for sure) with grooved corkscrew
scissors with long nail file back

A golfer would have a combo tool instead of the small blade, and a climber small would have the opener layer. Is this something I've never heard of? Or a mod someone else put together with some rare parts?

I've tried searching various sites around the net.. sakwiki, smartknives, here on multitool.org, and a few others, with no luck.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

I have a picture of it my notes, but no other data. Looks a little rough, but $15 for anything with a long manicure blade is a major bargain. Great score!

I had that one on my watch list

I guess you could call it a predecessor of the Golfer. Back in the day they made several models with a small clip point blade and the long nail file.
I should have the model no. somewhere, let me check

Technically it's called a 244k. Most collectors would call it a long file Golfer. This is a late 60s/early 70s model, so it predates the combo tool by a good 10 years or so. This is the most popular configuration for the early Golfers - two blades and long file. It wasn't until the 70s when they de-emphasized the long file that the version without (first with blade then with combo tool) became more common. Made like this from from the mid 1940s until the mid 1970s.
