Wenger older knife question

[tgbrendaj]

Can anyone tell me the years this knife was made? The scissors has a thin leaf spring.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

I don't know but that knife is stunning

According to  "The Swiss Army Knife Owner's Manual", by Michael Young, the Swiss cross in a blackened shield dates to the 1940s.  There seems to be some overlap and confusion between shield color, visible/invisible pins, style of bail, but that's a good working date. Nice find!

That's a nice one, Brenda

Just a note of caution the backsprings on the old Wengers can be a little brittle be careful when having more than one blade open.

But a really great looking knife

Thanks for that cautionary tip about the back springs.    Treating it with TLC and loving it being in my Wenger collection. 
Also, thank you both for the compliments, Reinier, tjfarrington2000 and jaydar
