Default Swiss Army Knife Photos Wanted

Can anyone post sharp photos of older Swiss Army knives?

I have in mind those from the 1920's, both the standard and officers' models. Back then, there was a difference.

But we might as well have a thread here on ALL Swiss Army Knives. (SAK's.) I'm sure that many will want to see their favorite models.

I have other pocket knives. Good ones! But whenever I carry one, I always need some tool on my SAK's...

Swissman-

Many thanks! I was actually looking more for the red-handled Officer's Model, with added blades and less weight.
I think they already had the Helvetian Cross in silver on the handle by 1909.

But this will surely interest many here. Thank you.

P.S.

I suppose that the saw-backed bayonet was a Pioneer model, used mainly to cut brush or wood? What is the item that is marked Mars on it?

I know this isn't what you had in mind... but it's the same size and color that I carry!

A lot of people borrow it from me and I always get it back!
