Re: SAKs
You are most welcome, Roland. As regards value if your Old Cross Farmer, it's hard to say. Nice mint Old Crosses and discontinued models can fetch silly money, but a used one could be modestly priced. I'd need to do a little more digging as to the value of yours.

Re: SAKs
I have this Solo model in Blue Alox. I was hesitant to buy it because I didn't know what the LCSAS stood for. After I found out, I was fine with it.
It stands for "les couteaux du soldat de l'armee Suisse," which means "the knives of soldiers in the Swiss Army". I also have a Cadet in Blue Alox but my pictures aren't very good.

Very nice blue Solo, Rick! Someday I need to get a blue Alox SAK to carry around.

Re: SAKs
You're welcome, Garry. The error is definitely a possibility, but I think it's much more likely it was intended to get a logo and for whatever reason did not. I have one with the reverse Swiss cross, and I'm 99.99% sure it missed out on receiving its intended logo.
