Official BSA #1052 Camillus Boy Scout Knife 'With Full Etch' & 'Plastic' Pearl Circa 1949-1953 (82)
This fixed-price sale with the ability to make fair offers was valued based on the very good grade of this knife and recent eBay sales for the same knife if available. This knife is referenced in Ed Holbrook's book 'Official Scout Blades' and Joseph Kerr's book '600 Scout Knives' in the following manner; Holbrook #C1A, Kerr #CAM04BR and supported by the accompanying images.
This knife is 3.625" closed with a straight and model-correct bail. The fully etched main spear blade has almost no snap, no half-stop, and no blade play when fully extended and is nearly 100% full with evidence of light use and carrying. The other blades operate as designed and the awl/punch is nearly 100% full. The plastic pearl handles, believed to be celluloid, are slowly deteriorating (out-gassing) on both the mark side around the shield and the complete pile side but have been stable for decades. The lined bolsters, brass liners, and steel springs are in remarkable condition given the age of this knife.
The price paid includes shipping with full insurance to protect your purchase against loss or damage. This knife comes from a smoke and pet-free home and will be properly packaged with tracking numbers provided via AAPK. There are no returns with this knife as all sales are final so please ask all questions and requests for additional images before making and executing a buying decision. Please know that this knife is also available for sale outside of AAPK and that this listing could end anytime.
I will be listing a lifetime collection of Scout knives in the coming weeks on AAPKso please save me as a Seller and check back often for new additions. I have official Boy, Cub, Girl, and Campfire Girl folding knives that span over 100 years and everything will be priced to sell with fair offers considered. Thank you for your kind consideration.
