Recent finds at a flea market and gun show
I ususally fine one or two knives during my searches at flea markets/gun shows, but this weekend was quite productive. Below are a few Camillus brand that I found this last weekend. I have tried to label them for identification...if you see anything I have incorrectly labeled I would appreciate your comments. jerryd6818 has already pointed out that my notes that the Boy Scout 1047 knife was not accurate. All in all I was excited to find so many from a Camillus collector....

Holy cow! When I go to flea markets, I have a hard time finding a knife without a broken blade. Those are awesome!

WOW..... what a haul of nice Camilllus knives!
Looks like some of those had a big price tag attached too. Some look like like mint and the packaged ones are really SWEET!
Congrats on such a nice find!

Re: Recent finds at a flea market and gun show
All except the Govt Marked knife, #165 and #1047 were at the flea market in boxes labeled $5 for one, or two for $8. They required quite a bit of cleanup. This kind of "find" does not happen to me.....something got screwed up but I am not complaning. The gun show had the Camillus collector and he was clearing out his knife collection. I am quite happy with #165 and the #1049 boy scout knife. Thanks for your comments. Are you like me in thinking "Goins" had some incorrect info on the WWII tang stamp without a "line" and the tang stamp he has for 1946-1956". I believe the Engineers U.S.A. marked knive in my flea market find was a WWII knife
