Help me date this Victorinox Camper
on: January 26, 2016, 08:51:45 PM
Hello folks!

Sorry for starting a new topic, but I'd like to get an accurate-ish answer to this one.
My uncle sadly passed away in an accident last year. (He was just 54 years old and was still having the time of his life, paramotor flying, parachuting. Rest in peace, Jonathan..) I spotted this Vic Camper at my grandparents place the other day and it was all gunked up, half the tools wouldn't open and everything that opened was sluggish. The small blade is bent slightly, but other than that it is in very good shape.

They told me it used to belong to him.

I cleaned it up and now everything works nicely, with good walk and talk so to speak. Suffice to say, the sentimental value is through the roof. So I'd like to know when this was made.

Please see the pictures, the first few indicators I can find is the fluted corkscrew, lack of straight pin hole and the slightly different tang stamps. Pre-1991 perhaps?
