What model is this?
on: December 11, 2021, 11:00:52 PM
Apparently taking a 3 year hiatus from Swiss Army Knife collecting for watch collecting has left me a little rusty. I just found this for $7 yesterday and I have no clue which model it is. I’m pretty sure it’s from the early 1950s.

I'm no expert, but I'd guess it's a fisherman. Possibly before it was called a fisherman officially.  :dunno:
Awesome find no matter what you call it!

I would say it is a Fisherman variant, but not positive.

I think your date of early ‘50s (probably’52 or ‘53) is correct, based on tang stamp and tool selection.

Nice score!

Awesome find! And crazy deal you got!!

I think it’s possibly from before the +PAT/US PAT. PEND. dates. Early ‘51, perhaps even ‘50.

I think it’s pattern would be 134f

I could use more pics.  :dunno:

Looks like a variant of the Fisherman to me as well. Nice find, and an absolute steal of a deal...wish I could be so lucky!
