camillus #72

[jerryd6818]

That's a good possibility JP. I have a few "end of days" Camillus knives and it's interesting to see what they made for who.

Very interesting knife and a wonderful gift. Sure a lot of red headed step children in the 72 clan!!!

Lol. Every clan has at least one red headed step child right . Had a chuckle over your post Floyd

I got a couple of Boy Scout 1047's today! One came with its box and paper work! Score! Now to search for a white handled 1047.... and the search goes on....

Nice 1047 s there Pan and the box with the one is a nice bonus .
There’s a white handled on the bay with no crack by the pin right now .

I was bombed by Reverend today with this 72. This one I’m not sure about. I think it was made by Camillus. It has a McGrew shield. Obvious Camillus delrin handles and sports a Western USA tang stamp. The pile side is marked stainless W742. I believe the Western 742 is a stockman. What I think happened was that Camillus was in a hurry to make knives towards end and assembled the knife with whatever parts they had on hand. Anyone have any ideas?

The variations of Camillus end of days knives never cease to amaze me. Very nice Bomb and Good on Reverend for being the Bombardier .

Just what I was thinking Floyd, you nailed it!!

Nice finds for sure!!

I have some others but this one caught my eye. It was listed over on Facebook Camillus Knife Collectors. I contacted the seller and we came to a price and it lives at my house now. 2nd generation short line with bone handles in what I think is pretty good shape. Thanks for looking.

That's a good one, Dlegg! I still haven't found a bone 72 that meets my money for condition ratio. They are either way too much money, or look like a truck ran over them. I'll find one eventually. Luckily I like the black handles they put on them. That one you just got has just the right patina. Enjoy it!

I think that it's time to increase my search range.
A GREAT, BEAUTIFUL acquisition, Floyd!
Congratulations!

Nothing wrong with the black handled ones toomanyknives I carry one everyday.

Skip the facebook page is worth checking out. Not a lot forsale there but usually quality.

Beautiful Smitty! Love the smooth black covers and super-cool Caddy shield! Great find!

Thanks Marc. With the price of new Caddy's it's probably the only Cadillac I will own.

Great piece
Floyd you’ve been on a roll lately. Really nice looking bone and overall look to that one,used but not abused

[doglegg]

I have been fortunate with a couple of late JP. Very pleased with this one. Thanks.

[#goldpan]

Hey JP I missed out on the white handled 1047. I came back to this thread a little too late...

I found an unused display case in my closet today and gave most of my 72 collection a new home.

Must be my lucky day. I found this short line 72 floating in the Bay an retrieved it for 30 bucks!

Very nice Display Case ,and nice collection
Like to use the glass covered case as well,been getting them on Sale at Hobby Lobby .
That Bone short line is a dandy and 30 bucks well Done
It also has no shield and don’t see many that way. I just have 2 with no shield . We have a thread here somewhere about the No Shield 72 s . Don’t think there’s been but a handful of them posted. If you would check it out and post it there would appreciate it. Do feel they’re getting hard to find without the typical Camillus Shield . Thanks for sharing
Take Care over there.

Beautiful group there, JP!

[#goldpan]

Love your display JP. Lots of good blades there! I need to find another case. Most of whats left of my collection is in boxes in the closet. One of these days. This Rigid came in the mail today, with box.

I'm still waiting for the short line 72 to get here......
