Wenger SI without tang stamps whatsoever?
on: February 19, 2011, 12:17:09 AM
I went by an Army Surplus store today on the way back home, and seeing that they had SIs, decided to take a look at them.  While pricey, I found three that lacked tang stampings on the blades - not only lacking year markings (not too unusual now), but also lacking the reverse "Wenger / Delemont / Switzerland / Stainless."  Were these terribly common mistake SAKs?

Pictures shall come on Sunday or Monday.

There is a picture of one in this thread:

I`ve been told in Delémont that these knives were only sold in their factory store. So maybe a few of them were shipped before they noticed their mistake or they were bought in Delémont and found their way somehow to your store.
