Finally!  A red Voyageur.  Not the most pristine example, but it'll do.  I had to replace the scissors spring with a modern unit, and there's a tiny nick out of the tip of the blade, but otherwise it's in fine shape.

Thank you Glenfiddich and Reinier!  I am very pleased with it. 

Crackout, your Voyageur is a real beauty.  Congratulations.

I have a couple projects in mind for the Christmas season for two loved ones who already have BYSAKs.  So I'm thinking I'm going to mod a couple Alox Bantams I have and turn them into Voyageurs.  If the project turns out well, I'll be sure and post pictures here. 

Thanks again guys!

This, folks, is the saddest story of 25 years of collecting. The picture below appeared in classifieds on the net like ten years ago.
From what I gathered the seller was a relative of a deceased sales rep for Victorinox, but unfortunately 1/ he did'nt really know the value of what he had, and 2/ did not really care, and 3/ was not very cooperative.
The only solution would have been to drive 700 miles, take a hotel room and wait for the guy to be ready to spare some time and take my money. 
At this time I just did not have the energy. In hindsight I think I should have.
I only scored a very small part of this Mother Lode. Whatever became of the rest is unknown to me. I lost contact.

but the good part is I was able to score this green voyageur, a very nice handful of secretaries, and a very old sales rep presentation box.

I know. Never seen any of this lot popping back up on the net from a potential buyer who would have wanted to re-sell part of it.
All I have are a couple of bad pics from his ads and my eyes to cry with.

I found a pic of that same lot somewhere in my email archive. I remember making an offer on several of the 74mm SAKs.

Wow!  Fantastic collection and I love the green Voyageur.  Do you know anything about the company logo on the scales?

Myron
The logo belongs to some relatively unknown tree nursery. "Baumschule" means "tree nursery" in english

I found a pic of that same lot somewhere in my email archive. I remember making an offer on several of the 74mm SAKs.

I remember now !
he did put a few of the 74's and aloxes on the Bay. Did not keep a record of his username.  Did you ?
Actually, I bought one from him and it came in with a damaged blade, I returned it and never got anything back.

I contacted him once or twice but never got a response. I never really tried again and also never checked eBay or other places.
