72 Camillus WITHOUT shield
72 Camillus WITHOUT shield
Hey folks , have a question? In the last few weeks there’s been casual discussion about 72s without Shield.
At first was looking at short lines ,then started looking at long lines and found that the ones I have and have looked at on line all have shields .
Jerry D has shown one that he lost to porch pirates . Will do more digging , does anyone know if there was a method to Camillus madness regarding shields . Was this a cheaper version ? The one I just received without shield has the composite handles as well, and almost seems like a economical version . Maybe there is no reason ,either way,makes for interesting research and Conversation. Could you show em if you have em ,from any stamp era .
Thank everyone !

Re: 72 Camillus WITHOUT shield
Out of the 37, CAMILLUS 72's that I have,
only one has no shield (by design). It too
is a short-line and has black handles. It
is already posted in the "72" thread.

The one I lost to thievery was bone. mumble, mumble, grumble, cuss word, cuss word.

Re: 72 Camillus WITHOUT shield
My guess is that 72 without shield could be an early version of BSA1047...
Re: 72 Camillus WITHOUT shield

It may not pan out to be anything ,but am still checking what resources have available to me .
Thanks ,stay safe over there

Well Vit ,that would explain a few ? s
Thank you for posting that here . To me it’s more interesting to research a particular knife ,or anything of interest, than sometimes owning the item .
Again your Contributions here are greatly appreciated Sir .

You can tell if it's a Boy Scout 1047. They don't have a pattern # stamped on the pile side of the blade.
Love that bone.

Re: 72 Camillus WITHOUT shield
Thanks for the nice comments.
Here’s another one without the etch.
Sorry if the pictures are not real good, I am using my iPhone for the first time.

Re: 72 Camillus WITHOUT shield
Isn't that bone something to write home about?

Re: 72 Camillus WITHOUT shield
That’s a beautiful piece
As JerryD said, “ That bone is Something to write home about” . Just a perfect example of Camillus in there prime ,I feel they made the best bone around the Cutlery industry for years!!!
Grant , those last 2 you posted are truly a Camillus collectors grail ,at least this guy thinks so .
Thanks everyone that’s been supportive of this thread , been a good run. Maybe we’ll see more without shields .

Re: 72 Camillus WITHOUT shield
Thanks Smitty. I'm infatuated with it. If I remember correctly, I got it from Ozzie Marie at the Janesville, WI show a bunch of years ago.
