Boxed set of Eendracht Maakt Macht ZAR / OFS Pocket Knives and a Letter Opener

Boxed set of Eendracht Maakt Macht ZAR / OVS Pocket Knives and a Letter Opener

All three items have the same design on the one side showing the Transvaal and Orange Free State’s coat of arms (with EENDRACHT MAAKT MACHT).  On the verso, one of the knives and the letter opener reads “AFSKEID 11-10-1899” and BITTEREINDER 31-5-1902", while the other knife features the busts of Paul Kruger and Christiaan De Wet on the verso.

The items are as new.  The two-bladed pocket knives were made by INOX (Solingen, Germany), and the letter opener is inscribed as "TOUO AS 100".

The fine wooden display box features the old Coat-of-Arms on the front.

Date of manufacture unknown.  Closed auctions for this set on Swelco and BoB are also moot on a date.

Please have a look at my other militaria and africana collectibles on offer, and in lieu of combined shipping charges.
