72 Clone list help,updating
Hey folks , been trying over the last year to get a more recent list of 72 clones . Some of you put together the list in pic, I have made notes and have more on another page . Am not striving for perfection or Every variation of every Clone,but the more complete list would be nice . Some of my notes may or may not be accurate. Would appreciate any help with this ,and am willing to research if you have a guestion . If anyone has a more recent or more comprehensive list and is willing to share ,would be grateful.

Re: 72 Clone list help,updating
A nice idea JP.
But, speaking for MYSELF, I don't use a list.
I just use the three main criteria for variations/clones.
It has to have a swelled center.
It has to have the particular, 3 blade configuration.
It has to be 3 5/8" in length, closed.
What the country of origin is, what company actually manufactured it,
or what is on the shield and/or tang stamp, is of no concern to me.
JP, this is NOT criticism, this is just how I look for them.
When you're done, that list will be pretty long, but comprehensive.
Good for you.

All good , do agree with your criteria. It’s all part of my research and helps me to remember what to type when doing a search.New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Sat Feb 13, 2021 6:08 pmA nice idea JP.

Re: 72 Clone list help,updating
Thought I would post this here. Another Camillus 72 Clone to add to the list. This is something I found in a 1969 Maher and Grosh Catalog.
It is listed as a No. 808 3-5/8" Old Whittler

There's one I'd like to latch on to.

Re: 72 Clone list help,updating
Smitty, thank you for posting this variation/clone.
Needless to say, that when I find it and obtain it, I'll post it.

Jerry , some of us can dream and play high roller once in a while ! But like you have said ,the research and hunt are part of the whole thing . It’s sure a interesting direction of collecting/ accumulating ,and fun . There’s deals to be had still ,but gotta stay at it some .
Stay warm and safe out there !
