Copper Cadet bay find.  This is copper right? Not Autumn Orange?

Looks like copper to me :tu:
Looks like Burnished Auburn Sunset to me

Nice find El C.  I would say Copper as well.  I bought these two Cadet Plus from SwissBianco a few years ago.
Left is Copper, right is  :oops: not Autumn Orange, it's Sunset Orange  :facepalm: , but as you can see yours looks like my Copper.

Edit, did some more digging:
According to my notes, and the name Autumn Orange is on the box of the one that is in the middle:

Thanks,  FB!  :cheers:

Flea market find from today: an old Exlporer. It was pretty gunky, but after some cleaning it already looked promising, and after further cleaning, polishing, sharpening it came out almost like new. There are some scratches on the tip of the large blade, but decided not to sand and polish those, as I don't like that hazy look you get after that treatment. Not bad for 11 bucks, right?

(First pic: after first cleaning, second pic: the finished product)

I had some luck with SAKs on the Geneva flea market. I've never had any luck there so I was quite surprised :D

The Wenger Commander Zebra Snife I got in the mail... It's got an ad for the Post office Bank's enterprise "yellow" account.
At the top is a Wenger Teton with corkscrew.
In the center is a Wenger Swiss Sportsman with L. L. Bean on the front scale.



Victorinox (early) Golfer



Victorinox (Safari) Trooper - used but in good condition and also had the saw guard even though its been used (there was still some sawdust in the saw when I removed the guard)



Victorinox Champion a 1971-1972 (no pat on can opener with clip-point small blade and 5 loops corkscrew... Guess it may be 1973). Tools are in good shape, liners have suffered a bit and it had no scales (obviously) but I only paid CHF 8.- for it!

A couple more new 58mm arrived today.  It seems if I wait too long the older Limited Editions start to go for $40 instead of $20.  So I'm buying a few now to avoid paying $40 later.

That one is in pretty bad shape. It surprises me how good the scissors still look.
