Found this old pearl victorinox, can't find another like this one anywhere, but newer pearl ones seem to retail for about 500 so I'd like to sell mine. I'm dating it from anywhere between 1897 and 1955, thats what I was able to figure out based off the logos on it but I'm not an expert.

That’s a neat knife, however conditionally it’s seen better days for sure. I’d date it to the late 40’s

Realised I have no idea how old this knife is.  This one came to me from my Dad a few years before he passed away, along with a belt pouch he made.  I started dropping it in my pocket rather than my SAK after he passed away.  From what I can tell it is about 50 years old, maybe a few years older than that, and I think it is the Champion.

Anyway, here I am and here it is.

Yep it's a real beauty - In great condition - And with a lovely provenance - And a six-layer Champion as you say

I reckon it was made between 61 - new awl came in - and 65 - slopey saw teeth finished

So most likely 60 years old

Wow. I have never seen one that old, and I watch most Modeler auctions as its one of my favorite models. I would love to see it with the scales off to see if its real, or a repair/mod of a similar vintage Champion. You know that Victorinox was making mag glass knives in the early 70s "Victoria" era, so its not unheard of that this is a real thing. But this is the first time I've ever seen one. Until this the only Victoria-era mag glass knives I've seen are Passengers, Explorers, and Champions.

I’ve just posted this SAK from my small collection on an explorer thread , and I hadn’t realised until a kind member pointed it out , that it’s actually a modeler .

I’ve dated it to 1973 based on the Victoria tang stamp , the 5 twist corkscrew and the magnifying glass .
Really interesting site .
So was the modeler a 1973 release ?
