Scales
Silver chequered Alox scales with a plain silver cross (same as the vintage Electrician models).
History
This model is shown in a 1970s catalogue page. Some samples with blades dated 98 have been known, indicating this model was still being produced, probably until at least the year 1999 or 2000. However, it is fairly rare and difficult to acquire.
Variations
- This model was produced with an Elinox, as well as a Victorinox, tang-stamp. Early versions have brass liners.
- An official Swiss Railway version: The silver Alox scales feature the plain cross and have SBB-CFF stamped in a panel on the top scale.
- Samples with blades dated 98 have been found (these versions would be using overstock of Soldier blades).
- A red Alox scaled model with advertising on top scale for BRUTSCH RUEGGER. This company appears to have comissioned every 93mm Swiss Cross Alox model produced and branded them with their name.
