Wow, great deal on that and the Wave!Not as good of deal as you got there but on its way to me (fingers crossed) is a new/unused Swisschamp with the single SOS kit that I paid $30 for with shipping! Time will tell if it is real too as it should be here by the end of the week!
OK, here is the results.first things first, the shipping was $4.29. I only paid $2.69, so that eats into the sellers :ahem: profit this pouch does look to be as near new as you can get without the box still being sealed.the velcro shows little if any signs of use.this stuff is not in the right spot, but the seller did take it out to take the ebay photos. (the marks on the flaps do not line up with how the stuff is in the case, indicating that it WAS in there right before the photo)BUT IT WAS THE RIGHT STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the only thing missing as far as I can find is one of the two Safety pins. (of all pieces to be missing, that would be the one to miss) I will have to get a replacement.now to the SwissChamp itselfhard to see in the photo, but there is factory oil on the back tools (I wiped it off of the chisel without thinking before I took the photo)the spacer for the small blade looks to be brass, I may normally be brass, I just have never noticed. I noticed on this one.you can see that it has the Gr[a|e]y plastic mag glass, the older file without the V cut, scissors have a silver screw, and the pliers do not have the crimper.the pen was a little bent, but I straightened it and it does writeand I like the text on the blade, I KNOW it was bought in Geneve.not the best photo, I had trouble capturing the writing.I need a nice weather day to take some natural light photos, but i had to share my delight with this ebay purchase.thank you all for the support and well-wishing. it means a lot.
The spacer is brass on 3 of my 5 SC'sStill one heck of a score though

Total score! Happy it panned out. Awesome that it's like new! That's a huge end of days pouch by the way.

That's a huge end of days pouch by the way. and all thanks to your kindly directing it to me.btw, when you did so, did you think it was just the pouch? (like I did at first) or did you know it was the whole kit?

(like I did at first) or did you know it was the whole kit?I saw that it was the whole kit. The pouch is what really stuck in my head though and I remember you seemed at a loss when it came to finding one. As much as I wanted it I knew it's not something I needed or would use. The thought of buying it and selling you the pouch never crossed my mind. That's just not who I am.

I would think about it, and then decide against it, and just pass the deal along.I am glad you knew it was the whole thing, and not feel upset you missed a deal

It is kinda strange to see/find these deals like this though! I thought I got a great deal when I picked up a kit just like yours, a dual sos kit and SC all new for about $85 shipped a short time ago! It too has the SC with a brass spacer! Guess I got ripped off! LOL
