I've very few clues about that one Mat. She came over from england, from a lady who said her hubby got it in the British Navy. (But there are no military markings of any kind) The pivot screws are some sort of odd spanner style. And the handles are polished to a mirror - even better than a 25th anniversary wave if you can believe it - and then chrome plated! The work is absolutely flawless, like it came from the factory that way.It's a real bugger to get a decent photo of:(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)A couple years ago I posted pics of it in all the internet forums, but nobody knew the story behind it.
Very nice Bob You've gotta love the Wave. Possibly the second most important multitool after the PST. That shiny one is a beauty.
How many more do you need Bob .
Hey Navi, great photos you've got there! I see you have both an "old" old Wave, and a "new" old Wave. The bolsters on the end aren't quite the same. (old one is rough cast, new one is polished smooth) Have you noticed any other differences?
Great thread, I can't believe I didn't see it sooner. Great pictures. It made me dig out my old Wave and check the date stamp on it. I have one of the "old" old Wave's with the rough cast bolsters. The date stamp is 0900. The chrome plated one that J-sews has is very interesting looking.

It will be worth something if it already isn't.
