I couldn't have come this far this far without your guys help.  :cheers: I am truly greatful for the trades that I've been able to make to help me reach my goal. I still have a few trades in the works and I'll update this thread as things move along.

I'm going to try my best.   :D  Most likely I'll end up with around 50 knives, but you never know.  ;)

Some really nice ones in there;  a GREAT Idea for a collection.   :salute:

I have a NIB Vic 06 I can trade but no idea on what to trade for.  PM if you have ideas. I like vintage knives, Swiss memorabilia or souveniers for photos, catalogs or cool packaging.

I'm sure you now this seller, but just in case, you should check SIGSAL. He often has great soldiers for sale and offers shipping discount on multiple SAKs, I believe he ships 2-4 SAKs for $12.

WOW, $380 for a '66 Soldier and counting, someone went nuts.

Thanks for the link!   :cheers:

I will not pay big $$$ for a soldier. I got a very good deal on my '64 and I may not be able to get another one that old but I have my '64 and I'm happy.   :D

No problem - glad to see you picked it up.

The '74 you got is huge, BTW. Probably the hardest year of the M61 soldiers to find.

As the Brits would say "I'm really chuffed".  :D  I really can't thank you enough for that 100th anniversary. $50 shipped, wow!!   :o
