Date of MFG?

[thawk]

I recently got this little 3 3/8” jack. Faux stag with crossed swords stamp on front, 4 line Camillus stamp on the back. Nice steel, sharpens up easily. Does anybody know a range of when this particular knife was made? It doesn’t seem like it’s Delrin. I kind of liked different handle look.

The tang stamp chart is a good reference. It states 1930 s to mid 1940 s . The 4 line and Sword brand stamped mains with secondary blades Not Stamped usually indicate 1941 to 1945 . Can’t see the secondary very good in your pic? If all blades stamped it’s likely older .
Nice old Knife . Think the cover material is there plastic stag look . It tends to crack ,yours look good . Are there 4 little tabs inside the blade well ? On each side, If so it’s all original covers that are installed that way.

Good find Hal, especially with the handles not being cracked. I agree with Ripster, early 1940's.
