I digress..
My latest foray...a S wi ss k3 1 from 51.. most Sw iss spoons are clean..except for the butt stock where the s wiss would tap their boots to knock the snow off of them..leaving chittering on the stocks. To find one without the chittering is difficult. About 4 years difficult. Usually they belonged to someone in the Hdqtrs staff or other non field unit.
The ones that are even more difficult are the civilian spoons marked with a P prefix.
On this one the Descriptive Header was mislabeled...which caused it to go for under book for condition. You don't find em this clean very often and as such they go for a premium.
