The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldn't get white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

I picked up a New Phoenix and a G10 Poliwog for $210 for the pair, the phonex was $180 and they had a promo where you could pick up the Poliwog for an extra $30 bucks.
I found a new old stock Military (2004 version) locally for $65.00. Could not believe the price, it was marked $100 which was a great price + 35% off on sale for $65 out the door.

Today I've found one of my personal grails, the C42 Viele.
And it was quite a steal, I paid for this beauty in LNIB-condition less than the european streetprice of a FRN-Delica.
