My Alox Soldier Collection
on: May 17, 2015, 04:47:10 PM
An update of my Elsener/Victorinox Alox Soldier collection.
The 1972 and 1974 are the only Wenger models. (never seen a Victorinox example for those years)
Only have a few to replace with new/near new examples when I find them.
Plus a few Red models I still need to find.

Very nice indeed Jamie - I'm guessing you've been working in that collection for a week or two.

Have you found more of these are available in the EU, or about the same as the ones that turn up in the States?

It's impressive..
What does mean letter 'k' in models 95k-99k? Is it 'key ring'?

Almost all are from Europe.
Very rare to find any early years in new shape in the U.S.

Many thanks. :-)
Getting anything pre 1970 in new shape is not easy.
I would love to start collecting 1921 to 1961.
Your collection of those is amazing.

As far as I can see those blacks are spoiling your collection, so I would gladly help you to get rid of them :whistle:
