Very Collectable Vintage Victorinox Model No.234k, Swiss Army Knife, Made in 1946-1951    #284

This 84mm SAK is a model no. 243k where the k indicated a 84mm knife.  This was before SAK models were given names.  It is a direct descendant of the original Swiss Officier knife and a predecessor of the current Spartan.  It is in very good condition except for the rear scale (2nd & 4th pictures) & point of the small blade (1st & 2nd pictures).  Both blades have been sharpened.  

The following can be used to date this SAK:
   Rounded Reamer/Punch 1946-1960 (3rd picture)
   "+ ARMEE SUISSE"  tang stamp 1897-1955 (9th picture)
   "INOXYD over Crossbow" tang stamps 1943-1951 (10th picture)
   Hook shaped Can Opener 1946-1951 (6th picture)
   Attachment Shackle 1946-1968 (1st to 4th pictures)
   Thumb Nail Nick at middle of blade - unknown date old (8th picture)
The hook shaped can opener alone indicates a date of manufacture of 1946-1951
