All clean and shiny now - I have had it for several years and never used it, how do things get dirty like that. embarrassing.

Nice one, D.  A Recruit?  Sometimes we get a post from someone wanting a specific company logo.  Maybe they worked there, or Dad did.  I pick up some of these things from time to time.  Is that a Wenger display case in your avatar?  Best wishes.  Gary

I had a good friend who was a Miller Rep - he gave it to me, oh mid-90's I reckon. I'd probably let it go if someone needed it to complement their collection. I am not a very good seller person.

Yes, that is a Wenger (with Precise sheaths) store display case, a recent purchase. I've known about it for near 30-years and recently bought it from the guy who owns the little old store. It came with four knives, two were still wired in and two were in the case in boxes. it came with two Precise leather sheaths that were still clipped in and two that were unclipped. We ended up finding the key too. No clue what I am going to do with it, but as old as the old fella is, I could just envision it in a dumpster in a short time, so it was kind of a rescue thing for me.

I used to have a Kabar store display with a few knives.  A fellow took a fit over the display but wasn't terribly interested in the knives.  The only Kabars left were small ones.  I still have a sharpening stone from the display.  Best wishes.  Gary

Here is another one - it ain't in great condition. look under the Evista logo and you can see a melty spot and on the backside under the shield, there is a horizontal crack in the scale. Don't even know where I got this one from. 

[D-Eg]

I guess on these - is the shield side or the logo side the front???

[IMR4198]

We just had a discussion about the shield location on the 'Old Spartan' thread.  I have them with shields on either side, and some with no shield at all.  Which Wengers were in the old display?  Best wishes.  G

these here. The loose knives, I do not believe belong to these two empty boxes. The Boy Scout knives ae in the boxes with paperwork. All of this was in the case when I bought it.

[IMR4198]

The two knives out of the boxes look like Crusaders.  65mm.  No, they don't belong to the boxes.  The 16997 would have held a Pathfinder.  It had a big plastic compass with a scale for maps.  The Hunter is about like a Spartan but smaller.  Nice sheaths.  Take care of the boxes anyway.  Best wishes.  Gary

Thanks, I just need to figure out what I want to collect or if I just want to buy and then what do I do with it all. 

[D-Eg]

I figure the boxes - he sold the knives out of the case and whoever bought them just stuck them in their pocket and out the door - never thought to ask for the box. I recon someone will need them....
