Any insight into the value of a Omega Swiss Army knife?

I have an Omega Swiss Army knife I'd like to sell, but have no idea where to value it for a realistic sale. I've never seen another like it and can't find any comps. It dates to 1994 or earlier based on the Victorinox logo, so it's at least 27 yrs old. All the others I can find are 2 blade, this one is a full swiss army. Thoughts? http://imgur.com/a/5Rz7r9

Your link 404s for me, and members typically prefer pictures to links.

Here is one on eBay in Italy, that's for sale at £166.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164708862121?hash=item265969c8a9:g:UZcAAOSwYmVgLVFX

It has failed to sell several times.

From this you could possibly extrapolate that £166 or higher is not a reasonable price.

The model of knife you have is called a "Camper" - the retail price for the current version of that model is £23.

Yours is either worth less than that because it isn't the current model, or more because someone really wants an unused 1990s Victorinox Camper with an Omega logo on that was given out as a gift.

Beautifully worded in the "English" style Chris.

I'd love to hear it in a cultured "Anthony Andrews" voice.

Can I suggest James Mason?

That is most probable, but impossible to confirm as OP has not actually posted any pictures of his knife.
It's possible (though unlikely) his is something else entirely, which could make it much more valuable and collectible.
Or less valuable and less collectible.

OP should try again if he wants his 'drive-by valuation' experience to be more optimal.

Ah.
It appears I was in error.
Carry on!

These types of branded knives were quite common in the 90's so I doubt they will be worth a premium. I ordered a number of them from a supplier of promotional materials then to hand out to faculty personnel when I visited them. It was no problem getting them in dark blue plastic with the company logo on it.

Aren't those his pictures above @timecube?
Good question.
I assumed they weren't, because the image OP posted to imgur was a dead link.
Perhaps OP posted the above images which @Fastsled snagged before OP deleted them from imgur.

Update:
It appears OP's name really is Dan, so the images posted may very well be his.

Have you looked on eBay and filtered down to completed and sold auctions? Great way to find good comp sales.
