Gniaaaargggggghhhhhh.
Quite sure I saw that model a couple of years ago on a fleamarket and decided against it since the seller wanted more than 20 €.

But I do like the expression "facepalm" and am highly delighted that Jean-Luc has a place on MT.o.

There also is a different walther SAK-like knife from a different brand, those sell for 20€

A friend of mine was looking for one for ages. I'm not sure he'd have gone all the way to 600 though...

Still I don't think I saw one on eBay in the last 2 years...

Thing is they're as rare as teeth on a frog and the thing that stops people from completing their 108 lineups... also they're kind of cool  :D

Or a regular Mauser?

Now you might have saved my evening- could've also been a mauser.  :whistle:

I didn't care much about the logos, just saw the black scales and the Bundeswehr-Kombitool, thus dismissed it as "nothing special". Back then I wasn't really hunting Victorinox, but was only interested in really old non-stainless pocket knives and Bavarian "Jagdnicker".

So now I know what it feels like for those who didn't buy apple-shares in the 80s.
Glad to be so bloody young.
;-)

Edit:
Damn. Black scales, quite definitely.

The Mauser is olive-green.
If it was black it was either a Walther or a copy  :D

PS: Even a lowly Mauser retails for over 100 USD usually... :whistle:

Here some more pictures.
I have also not bought him, I am stopped at 200 euro.
A few weeks ago, there is also a Vic Mauser sold for more than 200 euros on the German ebay.

The more sales I see the more I think I should have asked more than the 150,- I€  sold mine for a while ago here on this forum.
Nah. In reality, I think I got a fair price - I made a few bucks on a knife I had no real interest in and a collector did get a piece to add to his collection.
But to each his own and i am sure there is stuff out ther I would pay more than a reasonable sum for if I could get it.

The 108 Fireman seems to be even rarer than the Walther. Also there are rumors of a black GAK (German police) and grey GAK (German navy).

Not only is the Walther damaged but the gift box is missing & so too is the saw guard.

Which Firemen? Several Vic 108's have been called "Fireman:"
1. One w/red scales, fireman's logo, no bail or logo.
2. One w/red scales, fireman's logo, & bail.
3. One w/red scales, no logo, & bail. This is like the Hunter except for the red scales & bail.

The first Fireman I mentioned should have read no bail or key ring.

Didn't know #3 was considered a Fireman. Thought it was a Safari Hunter with bail.

In any event I don't have any of them.   :ahhh

Just reading the write-up in the wiki, and apparently the genuine Stag Hunter is even rarer. (top left)

Somebody paid 605 Euros (around $550 dollars) for a GAK!!!  This seems a bit extreme to me.

Not really.. it's a cool, black gak that most importantly hasn't been on sale anywhere for 2-3 years.
The value of an item is not given by the cost, by what the seller thinks it's worth or what you think it's worth, but of the highest sum someone would pay if they really really wanted it.

Seeing as it's the only black GAK and thing most people need to finish their 108mm/military collections I don't find it to be expensive...

Compared to the hundreds of dollars people pay for slightly different shades of Alox, I actually find it rather cheap...
