Here is a chart of tang stamps:

The Victoria Officier crossbow tang stamp is from 1968-1974

PAT was no longer on the can opener in 1973,

The small clip blade was replaced by a small spear blade in 1973, so I am guessing between 1968 and 1972.

Thank you all.  This era tool is just seem higher quality to me.  I especially like the higher polish VIC did on all the tools.

Ulli made great work with this famous tang stamps chart but these VO CB/ VSS blade stamps were used in 1952-1957, they started closed rivets and new blade stamps VOS CB/VSSR in 1957 so this knife is from c.1957 IMHO

If you go to this URL you will find it is a post by Ulli showing a chart with the same dates for The Victoria Officier crossbow tang stamp( from 1968-1974)

I just realized the chart I posted actually was from Ulli,

This is correct. I would date this as 1957/8.
