Unmarked Old Timer 180T?
I bought this knife in the mid to late 90's I believe. I can't recall the exact name of the place but I think it was a mail order outdoors outlet called Sportsmen's Guide or something like that. They always had deals on surplus items. Now this knife looks just like an Old Timer 180T but without any markings on the tang or shield. The only marking is on the liner lock that says "press". I just found this knife in an old box of things along with some other knives. Just wondering if anyone has seen this before or even owns one.

Interesting. Possibly a contract knife. Even more interesting is that it has pinned blades, not Swinden construction. Maybe made by Camillus or Imperial.

I occasionally see Camillus ones that are identical, except for black handles. They usually have the Camillus stamp etched, but a blank Old Timer-shape shield. Same pattern, and pinned.

I will say it is definitely a well made knife.

You got yourself a nice (a little non-standard OT) knife.
