History
The Lithos Series was introduced in January 1992. Models were supplied in a solid wood presentation box, along with a black leather slipcase with folding closure and featuring the gold Wenger Max logo. The Wenger Max logo may be market specific, and simply the equivalent of the Elite Series in North America.
