Hi yabantas,

Welcome aboard!

According to Michael Young's 'The Swiss Army Knife Owner's Manual' the metal shield with cross dates to the 1950s  to early 1960s period. The visible rivets narrow it down to the the 50s.
Nice find!  :tu:

What can be called an Officer's Knife - in primo shape !
Wenger gave names to models in their Officer line as Victorinox did and someone here probably can tell us what this one is.
