I'm a collector - not a seller. Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing, yet. I want to find and restore vintage Swiss Army Knives. I missed the fact that the rivets were mangled on one end of of this knife. Can somebody tell me more about this knife? Was it made by ERN for Swiss? I thought the Swiss weren't crazy about their knives being made in Germany, so is it a Swiss Army knife?
I learned Rostfrei means stainless, but what does Noxin mean? I haven't found any references to the "R" stamps on the bottle opener and can opener. Perhaps it means, "Rostfrei/Stainless"?
This knife looked like it was mangled by a kid - the scratch marks were very severe. I tried to remove most of them. This is my first restore. I would love to know the time period of this knife. The copper/brass rivets leads me to believe it's older. Can the mangled one be repaired? Any guidance to books, websites, or any other reading material would be welcomed.
