Old NY Knife

Post by just bob »

Can't quite make this out. Don't think it's Camillus judging by the tang stamp. Don't want to take the swing guards off. Anyone recognize this?

Camillus' three line straight stamp.... used on knives manufactured from 1916 to the early 1930s

You nailed it Randy .
Did you notice the stamp is on the pile side . The Main side should have the crossed Sword Brand stamp .

There's just not much there. If you look really closely maybe you can see the OR from sword?
