Vintage Early 1970's Victorinox HOFFRITZ 91mm Champion B Scarce Older Model

This is a Victorinox Swiss Army 91mm "Champion B" pocket knife. Made by Victorinox in Switzerland. Tang stamp is HOFFRITZ (a retailer) - SWITZERLAND STAINLESS ROSTFREI on back tang. Scarce older knife that appears to be from the early 1970's, prior to the introduction of the magnifying glass on the Chhampion, but has the newer pen style small cutting blade not the earlier clip style. Has the older square-shank Phillips screwdriver. Carried and used a bit. Shows light use with patina. As the photos show, the large cutting blade was evidently used to cut a live wire - leaving a small hole and burned spot. Cutting blades were never sharpened. Each with the factory edge. All tool blades are full and undamaged with some patina as the photos show. Complete with tweezers and toothpick. Strong snap, no wobble on all blades.

Red cellidor handles have the expected light rub marks, no cracks or chips. The knife shown in the photos is the exact knife that you will receive. See my other listings for more collectible knives. Any knives listed as having BONE handles have handles made of Bovine bone from the South American Zebu cattle. Any knives listed as having STAG handles have handles made of Sambar deer antler - naturally shed.
