Title: Where do these come from? Victorinox keyring fobs
Post by: stressmaster5000 on December 30, 2008, 06:08:43 AM: OK, while buying for my collection I have come across several of these Victorinox key chain fobs with the Victorinox shield stamped into it. Usually I find them attached to a classic in some of my purchases. They always have 3 links of chain attached to the large piece with the shield. I can not find them any where on the Victorinox website. Does anyone know where or how they are sold or packaged? :think:

The PX at Yongsan Garrison, ROK in Seoul has a Victorinox booth inside it. They sell all kinds of chains and fobs. I bought a leather one, one that clips to a belt, and a pouch one that holds a Classic for my wife.

I have seen one boxed classic with this piece in it so I know its available but I can't find it anywhere in the Vic website. I need to check the Vic store website though. Anybody find it listed at the Vic website let me know please. :salute:

I have seen a boxed classic with one of these for sale on an auction site but have not seen any manufacturers listing for them. I would think they are Vic made.
