918. Pioneer Alox (OC)

The Victorinox Pioneer model was produced with a plain silver cross emblem (also known as OC – old cross) till 1999, according to the information from SAKWiki.
Here is satisfactory proof for this statement, – vintage Pioneer OC with year-stamped blade.
I want to believe (agent Mulder ©) that blade comes from leftovers, intended for Soldier 1961 model, rather than fact, that it could be replaced later.
