I have seen three of these sell on eBay over the past couple days, with the last one bringing over $120. I am relatively new to SAK's, but have never seen this logo before. Also, there are no pics of the blades or tang stamps.Is this a cheap knockoff in a vintage Victorinox box, or is this a legitimate SAK that I am just not familiar with?http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-Vintage-Original-Victorinox-Swiss-Army-Knife-Pre-1985-Red-in-Box-NR-/261428620338?pt=Collectible_Knives&hash=item3cde5c2c32&nma=true&si=FoicX60Ba%252FMoWhlSFyqfdoObO6U%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Believe it was used for a few years in the mid-1940s, but not sure of the exact dates. Expect someone else will be along shortly with more info.
Is Victorinox now working a deal with Richartz, or is someone trying to put a fast one?http://www.ebay.com/itm/301095958330?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649http://www.ebay.com/itm/301095959236?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Check this one out:http://olx.ro/oferta/vand-briceag-reproducere-victorinox-ID1MlUZ.html#90de5dd170Obviously a bad replica, and marked as such... what amazes me it's the box.. branded and looks nicer than the original one...
At the very least that corkscrew doesn't look right!
What about this one:(Image removed from quote.)It looks wrong to me, but I'm not real familiar with Wengers, so I'd like a second opinion.
I figured it wasn't a real one... but wanted to make sure.
I don't see where it has Victorinox on the blade.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Swiss-Army-Knife-Victorinox-Swiss-Tech-/400713568979?pt=Collectible_Knives&hash=item5d4c63d2d3
