Ace,
Did you get the "empty plastic" also?

Yes.


Steve and Floyd,

When I got my previous Radio Prague QSL that contained the letter opener,
the envelope was as you've described... slit at end (not taped), but the
plastic
wrapped letter opener was inside.

I am guessing that the metal blade of the opener sets off some kind of
sensor
or alerts customs in some way. They check the contents and it's hit or miss
as
to whether or not the opener remains in the envelope after that. Mine could
have
easily fallen out and disappeared, leaving only the plastic wrapper. Bottom
line,
it's functional but not something you'll miss if it doesn't make it to you
intact.
