Some of you might have seen me post it on another topic, but I got a Victorinox display/cabinet/locker yesterday.
I remember seeing types like this on store counters or on posts outside at the door at cuterly shops as a kid. As the matter of fact, my fist Vic was selected from one like this.

Sadly the internet isn't making me any wiser.
Where did it come from? It's got both French and English texts.
How old is it?
It has been stickered over some original layers in the past, so they were updated by Vic's supplied stickers.
The Swisschamp on it has the grey mag frame, Cybertool, Voyager, Altimeter and Swisscard are all on it. But like I said, it will probably be older.
ANY info would be greatly appreciated!

Fun update,
There are model numbers added with a label writer at certain positions by the one who once sold SAKs from this stand.
Compact was added to the Climber shelf, Mountaineer added to the Huntsman shelf, and alongside the Explorer... there was... The Scientist! :ahhh

There are pics of liner locked 111 mmm knives on it. That means 21st century. Or are these the ones that have been stickered over?

No liner locks as far as I can see.
The Alpineer is shown reversed and has a slide lock.
Alot are stickered over, but maybe the dealer was free to chose where went what and just received a blanc display? There is one empty space visible, the one right above it has the Swisscard sticker which is a sticker by itself (the others are entire rows at once) So it was meant to be expandable.

Also found a saw cover inside, so there was probably a Trooper in there too...
Which will help dating it's use period.

The black ones with the fat cap lifter. But I got the date wrong. Post 1990 would be a better estimate.

Yeah, I'd say early 90's
