Metal inlay wenger cross information anyone? More pics added.
on: January 12, 2017, 04:39:01 PM
Hello all.
I have been collecting SAK for a while now. Today I received a small gift, a Wenger commander.
The funny thing is that it is the first time I see one with a metal inlay cross (as seen in the attached pic)
Has anyone come across one before? Any information? 
Thanks,
Ehud.

Amici,
Very interesting indeed! All of my pre-Wenger models seem to have the cheesy sticker or some sort of silk screen  printing of their cross and shield.. Very cool..


Cheers,
Serge

I can't find many examples or info, but it has apparently been done on other Wengers.

I've taken a look at my Wengers. All cross and shields are painted, but the BSA logo on my S17 Forester looks like a metal inlay.

I saw the L.L.Bean one :), he has another white one in his blog but nothing in 85mm like mine
Another thing I just noticed, no keyring on my version

Cool. It appears to be brass?

Mine are all paint or that little aluminim piece with the red painted/screaned on it.  :tu:

EDIT: now I see its actually not brass color...optical illusion!

Nice photo! Was this a joint make between the two companies?

There are no signs of another logo on it, just plain red scales.  But maybe it was a part of a gift set or something.

 :think: Maybe somebody sanded/rubbed off/swapped/changed the opposite scale because they didn't like the ADVERT, or just age if inked on? :shrug: :D

I have done it a couple times.( and then again MAYBE NOT...LOL Ya never know)  :cheers:

I took a very close look, no sign of scale replacement, same wear on both sides.
There is also no evidence of sanding or change made to either one of the scales.
