Description
This is a VERY NICE example of a Swiss WW2 M1918 Elsener Schwyz that was made by Victorinox AG (Swiss Army Knife Manufacturer) and is dated 1940 on the Frog.
Victorinox was located in Schwyz Canton. You can also see that this one is prior to 1950, because it does not have the "Victoria" marking on the ricasso.

The Script-P mark identifies the scabbard maker as the firm Paillard AG of St. Croix. Paillard was a very diverse manufacturer who produced an amazing variety of products over its 160 year history.
