Tom, Starting right after WWII, Camillus changed their tang stamp.TPK wrote: And that Camillus Short Line is nice as well N_W_NY. Anyone know why it's called that? Is it shorter than normal?
Just wondering.

The one used from 1946-1950 (generally accepted time frame by most everyone but me) which is commonly called the "short line" because it's shorter than the rest. Then from 1960 to 1976 (I maintain it had a longer run than that) they used a longer line. From 1989 to close of business they used a double line stamp. WARNING!!!! Camillus tang stamps are not set in stone and are not a reliable method of dating a Camillus knife. They only get you in a very loose ballpark.
