Hi guys and gals, 
I was lucky to buy a bunch of pretty old SAK`s from a swiss collector last week. These were some of his doubles and some of what he called minor quality knives.
Here`s all of them:
From top: (the number is the date say 55 means made in 1955)
Wengerinox 55, Wengerinox 54, Wengerinox 54, Elsener 53, Wenger 51, 2 Wenger without number, Victorinox without Number, Elsener without, Wenger without, unmarked SAK, Wenger 49, Wenger 45, Elsener 44, Wenger 44, Wenger 43, Elsener 42, Wenger 41, Wenger 41, Elsener 40, Elsener 40, Elsener 40, Wenger 37, Wenger 37, Victorinox 34
Some more:
Elsener Victoria 64, Wengerinox 61, Wengerinox 59, Victorinox 58, Elsener Victoria 57, Victorinox 54, Victorinox 54, Victorinox 48, Wenger 34, Wenger 29, Wenger 29
These 2 babies are with Russell White, a great british knifemaker, for rehandling at the moment
Elsener 29, unmarked SAK
Elsener 23, Elsener22, a VERY rare Elsener ~ 1901 and a VERY rare Elsener ~ 1898 with wooden scales
These Wengerinox 59 and 61 have so called Grillon handle scales, a material only a few were made of and are somewhat rare now.
In the meanwhile I got another Grillon handled Wengerinox from 1957 (my date of birth)!
The Victorinox58 is VERY rare too. It was presumed a long time, that there were NO date marked SAK`s handed to the army in 1958 until some very few showed up, finally. And I`m lucky to have one example even it`s got a pretty worn off blade.
