Swiss Army Dog Tag

How quaint! Grats.

Guess I'd have to enlist to get one too?

Wonder what an Australian services dog tag looks like??

Just shot an old Voyageur in sweet condition on eBay for 50€ shipped including to other SAKs which I think I can sell for 15€. I guess, 35€ isn't that bad.

Silver, old caplifter, Elinox stamp.

Finally I have one ~~on the way~~!

Wow, what a nice Wenger!
I'm really happy for Tosh as I know he was looking hard for it.
Should you find another one, please let me know as I had been looking for this model for quite some time

Yes it's nice. Tosh scored it I just forwarded it to him

Great find!

The blue alox version was called the 'Sea Pioneer'.

Mazda SAK

Older one: grooved corkscrew, scissors with screw, ring on liner and no hook. The scale imprint is metal inlay. No, I don't drive a Mazda but the SAK just looked too cool to pass.

Very nice! Titanium scales...

Wootz · **Reply #5861 on:** March 06, 2013, 02:57:42 PM

Yep

Rather thick scales and heavier then you would expect. Nice fit and finish.
I doubt the colors are done by heating..?

Looks like Ti anodizing to me with the swab method and ramping the voltage.

Color - voltage chart.

Just a Spartan, but with a NICE metal inlay

the inlay says "Thanks for loyal duty Swiss Military Department" according to a translator lol

Actually it's even cooler.

The translator got it wrong. Schwyz isn't translated Swiss, Schwyz is a Canton in Switzerland, one of the founding ones and the one where Ibach, the hometown of Victorinox is located.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canton_of_Schwyz

I'm not sure if Militärdepartment should be translated as Military Department, it sounds a bit off to me, but our Swiss members should be able to clarify that.

In any case a very nice find.
