Just wondering.

Tom
Tom, Starting right after WWII, Camillus changed their tang stamp.

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.

This one arrived today and is my latest acquisition for the menagerie or zoo. This "moose head" fixed blade knife, no sheath, from COLONIAL. Please excuse the shadow on the blade in the first picture.

Thanks for the explanation Jerry. That's a big help for me and any other inexperienced collectors interested in Camillus knives.

When thinking about the Camillus tang stamps, let's not forget the long line with the slanted letters during the '76-'89 (+/-) time. :) It's listed on the chart in the tang stamp. https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kn ... &mode=view
I've got a couple electricians knives, TL-29 style, with this stamp.

The warncliff bladed work knife is Jerry's fault. He posted a photo of one the other day and well you know the rest. The toe nail just because I didn't have one and now that I do what the he$% do I do with it. It's a heavy dude.

Just got back from the post office with this knife. Another Camillus 72 variation by Remington, but NOT one of the three variations that I knew about. This is a Remington "R14" with the circle Remington shield and the circle REMINGTON, MADE IN USA tang stamp. However, there is NO pattern # (R14) stamped anywhere. So, to me at least, this is a fourth variation in regards to Remington. Yes it has the correct 3 blade, swelled center configuration and it is 3 5/8" long, closed. The first "picture" is of the description of the three variations that I knew of. The last four pictures are of the knife. It didn't require any cleaning at all.

That "wood" handled Remington variation is the one that I DO NOT have. There is a seller on eBay with two of the "wood" handle variations, with etched blades (yet another variation), but he wants $$. NONE of my 3 Remingtons have wood handles. As far as what type of wood the handles are made of, I have no idea. I'd like to believe that they're ebony, but I highly doubt it. ::shrug::

Garry, this is not a knock on your knife, just an observation. Have you ever noticed the Germans tend to a.) leave a steep haft down to the bolster and b.) they tend to leave the pins proud. That's just been my experience.

Your observation is correct Jerry. It is a pretty consistent pattern or style. I don't know what any mechanical reason for this might be. I do not find the pins to be excessively high. I always thought the pins added a distinctive highlight. Sort of a Germanic thing. But to each his own.

New to me Chicago Cutlery P19. If I'm not mistaken these were Schrade made? I'm curious because there's no tang stamp on it, just the stamp in the handle.

Thursday, I added this Imperial "steer head" knife to my menagerie or zoo. It didn't need much cleaning at all. The wire-jack, hawkbill pruner, from BOKER U.S.A., arrived Thursday also. It looks like it just came off the showroom floor. I've never seen a black colored blade guard/spacer, but here it is. Could it have been re-painted? Yes, it could've, but it doesn't appear to have been. So now I have wire-jacks with red, green, yellow and a black blade guard/spacer. The first four pictures are the "steer head" knife and the last three pictures are of the wire-jack, hawkbill pruner.

I bought this Solingen Boker Congress to add some color to my collection. I found the shield interesting as well.
