Nico are you familiar with the French multis made under the 'Seaboard Steel' branding :think: :think:
They were made in the 50's for the US market.

Then there are the the Le Depanneur multis
(http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll287/multimat426/French%20and%20German%20Vintage%20MTs/S6304562.jpg)

I have wondered how many of these French made tools made it onto the French market or were they predominately exported :think: :think:.

Please keep posting photos of your French goodies mate :tu: :tu: :tu: :cheers:

With a lock mechanism, safer than a sak...
It's about 8 or 10 euros here, i have looking for shipping cost to Australia but they are prohibitive...
I can ask a post office if you want.
