Older Knife, Unable to fully identify
on: April 14, 2011, 08:35:13 PM
This was part of my grandmothers estate. It is obvious that the corkscrew is broken.

Ive spent a couple hours researching and I can't quite pin down the exact model and when it was made. I do know its an older model based on the tools, but I cant quite track down more info..


It most closely resembles 205 in this image:



I have uploaded a whole bunch of photos in a Gallery Here:



any help would be appreciated.

Wenger is rather hard to nail down a timeline but yours looks like a 1950's era knife. Check the back side of the main blade and if you see Wengerinox it is on the older side if it is blank then slightly newer say late 1950's to early 1960's.

The St. Gallen crest makes this a super great knife!

There are some different knives for the Swiss Cantons.
