Victorinox Elsener Schwyz Victoria RED Alox 1968 Soldier

[SAKMikey]

Swiss Army Knives can do everything except pay the bills so unfortunately it's time for me to part ways with one of my favorite SAKs I've ever had the pleasure of owning.

Up for sale is a rare Elsener Soldier dated 1968 in Red Alox. It's in excellent condition especially for a Red Soldier. These were known for looking well used after little use hence why they switched to Silver Alox. The scales & tools on this particular piece show minimal wear, springs are nice, tight, and very snappy. Blade looks to have never been sharpened and is stamped with "Elsener Schwyz Victoria." The awl and bottle opener rub against the blade when opening and closing but does not hinder functionality of any tools whatsoever and seems to be a common occurrence with these older Soldiers. See pictures and judge condition for yourself. If you have any questions about a particular tool or want more pictures just let me know.

I'm asking $185 shipped within the USA only. No exceptions. I don't want to risk this getting lost in the mail on a trip overseas. PayPal preferred. Will ship fully insured via USPS Priority Mail. Again, PM me or post in the thread with any questions. Thanks for looking! Onto the pics...
