Re: camillus #72
As I posted in another thread dealing with this subject, the LR6 was made by Camillus as part of their .22 Long Rifle Series in the mid 1990's. Being made by Camillus with a Camillus tang stamp and being the same pattern as a 72 makes it in my mind part of the Camillus 72 family. JMHO

Very nice JP. And awesome group photo there.Ripster wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 5:13 pm Rainy day so getting caught up with mail bills and knife stuff. Bills can wait so here’s a few knives that want to post.
The 72 Yello Jaket ,nice etch ,typical main ,etc,etc,. Not fond of the handle material ,needed one for my 72 s ,doesn’t bother me about the crack at back center pin area,got into right.
The 1997 22 LR6 w/ Rimfire etched main,and bullet shield is a Camillus stamped knife so believe it belongs here . However will also post in Variations/ Clones . It’s not a big deal to me personally,it’s like the Cattleman / Stockman thing. Just re read both of those threads b4 posting here . There’s a lot of gray area. So it comes down to ,it’s a knife and I like it and here’s some pics .
Have a good one out there ,stay safe

Re: camillus #72
This afternoon, I get the pleasure of adding this pocket knife to my collection. It's a CAMILLUS 72, 3 blade, swelled center,
3 5/8" closed, short line tang stamp, 1st generation, "whittler" pocket knife. It needed a good cleaning and I'm quite surprised, but pleased, that it cleaned up as well as it did. I took some pictures and here it is.

Re: camillus #72
Picked up this 72 , came with box and it is like new condition. Not exactly sure about the etching and handle. This is not the 100 year anniversary model as some had thought . Have reread this thread and am still a little confused as too what this one is all about . Any feedback would be great .

Re: camillus #72
JP, congratulations on obtaining the "ducks."
Now you need the other two variations (pictured below).
Unless of course you already have them.
