Sterling Silver Wenger Esquire.

[Chako]

This came in today along with a ton of other stuff.

Nice! Personally I find the Wenger Sterling series to be more appealing than the Victorinox series.

Nice bit of silver Chako

Does anyone know what designs Wenger have released in silver?

I spent a bunch of time on the "Esquire" page over on SAKWicki and it lists several Silver ones many with photos. I think this one is the "Diamond" pattern but not sure since the stock photo is kind of obscure.

There is one called "Imperial" that I have no photo or description for so it could be that one too.

I don't know much about old models but the had the esquire in 4 designs.

Esquire Sterling Silver Polished 16660
Esquire Sterling Silver Diamond 16664
Esquire Sterling Silver Striped 16665
Esquire Sterling Silver Quilted 16666

I leave it then, as those sequins look sharp

I only have a couple, one similar to Chako's but with an additional flat section for advertising on the front and one that looks similar to the Polished model, except mine doesn't have Wenger written on the front.

I'd love the Tuxedo 

[stressmaster5000]

You know, it could be the "Imperial" design. There is a photo in the Wenger 1991 catalog posted on SAKWicki. It looks very close to this design.

BTW---there were 7 different models of Sterling Silver Esquires.

[Neil]

It certainly does   I'm guessing my flat one is the Sterling 16661

[Chako]

Well, they are all rare on this side of the pond. I consider myself lucky to have found this one.

Here are 3 non-polished Esquire.

   I really like silver SAKs    I don't care if that makes me a tart

Some Wengers:


Some Vics:


I do like Sterling Wengers more, and not only because they are BIGGER 

[ICanFixThat]

Wowzer!!  Great Photos. 

I don't know I think I prefer Vic because I think the Vic Hammered is probaly the best one I've seen.  The textured of the Hammered in your photo look a little subdued for some reason.  I'll try to shoot pictures of a couple special Vic ones done in a Southwest US sterling style,  I like them too.  I do like the look of the Wenger Quilted.

...The texture of the Hammered in your photo look a little subdued for some reason...

Crappy photographer and/or crappy lighting...   I agree that the hammered looks great, but the basketweave and swirl have the shield glued into the cut-out in the pattern, and the fit is not great at all, especially on the basketweave.

[Chako]

I have quite a few of the Vic silvers. Only the one Wenger.

Some of the Victorinox.



I only have the one silver, a titanium, and a stainless steel hammered.

[Neil]

This is a nice thread  

Anyone got any larger silver ones?    I know Chako has

[Chako]

Yes I do. And when it comes in, a nice Minichamp.

There not very sharp, just highly reflective for blinding. 

[ICanFixThat]

Some different Victorinox Sterling Classics.  Does anyone have any information on these designs?

[Chako]

Those are rather nice. I don't have any information for you though.

[Neil]

I've not seen those before. I suspect many of the unusual silver designs we come across are the product of jewellers rather than Victorinox themselves.

[ufox9al]

Nice!

[ICanFixThat]

Nice one! 

Thanks for posting, never seen that one before.

Yes it seems like several different Silversmiths have had their hand at producing some scales.
