Nope...it's a fake. Knockoff. Completely worthless. Please send it to me for proper disposal.  >:D

That looks to be the fabled "Black Beauty" aka the Swiss Railway Soldier. Quite possibly Vic's prettiest alox knife. If that one in the pic is yours, you've got a nice knife.

The knife in the photo above is from a current auction ending in six days and is currently selling for CHF 64.00 (approx $70.45 USD / £44.89 GBP)
It's in pretty poor condition but i'm sure it will have a few people after it.
I saw another example in slightly better shape go for just over CHF 168 (approx $184) last year.

Here are my two from the 80's. One is NIB.  :salute:

You're right, that's the one. It is at 69 CHF today. I wonder how high it can get...

As a side question, is it even possible to register into ricardo.ch from outside Switzerland?
I think I tried once for a Wenger, but was not even able to register.
