Unfortunately, I have no idea when exactly this one was made (except time-range, which can be defined by changing of tang stamps of course).
I have to say that such kind of etching (with Elsener’s signature) it’s not something rare for Victorinox. I have two Soldiers’61 with the same etching on blade. Moreover, SwissTool with the same etching (but on scale, not on blade) also exists, probably you saw it.
Any clue when was this made? I have one except it has the older blade that says Rostfrei in the 4th line with the big V in Victorinox. Thanks
