D.L. you done good! I Like it!
I love the #23 pattern.... and I love the Short-Line .... so, I have added one more to the ever growing "Pile" .....
P.S. What is the deal with the #23 and all of these felt producers? ...

23's are a very substantial knife. Great size and if it is a short line, even better.

Thanks D.L. I really like the overall size and heft to it .... and I have a preference for a spear point on my EDC.

Here’s a short line 72 that came from the bay. Got it right ,has piece of bone missing on shield side. Great snap , blades are not to bad. Needs cleaning and oil. Might check with a couple of our knife mechanics/ magicians and get it fixed . The federal shield on a short line 72 was the reason for pursuing this one.
And a 3 and 3/8 inch long ( closed) tourist knife. This has the Sword Brand tang stamp and4 line Camillus stamp on the main . The smaller pen blade has the 4 line stamp . So probably 1920 s to 1930 s made for the California tourist sector. Blades are snappy and in decent shape. Needs oil and cleaning. Very well built for a tourist knife. Doesn’t look like the covers are gassing out ! It should be fine after all these years but will keep it separate .

JP, those are two VERY nice pocket cutlery acquisitions.
Good find with the CAMILLUS 72, second generation!

Great pick ups JP. Lovely old 72 even with the little bit of bone missing.
Re: What is Your Latest Old Camillus? (pre-1960)
Received this 3 1/4 inch long Jack knife yesterday. Is just like George described it . Great seller by the way !! Both blades stamped with 4 line stamp and main has the Sword brand etch . Both blades have half stops . This is a nice addition to the Sword brand sub collection within the Camillus collection .
The hunt continues for a gunstock framed Sword brand and a few other hard to find models .
You all have a good one out there!

I picked up this well-used no-line Camillus last weekend. There's no pattern number visible. It measures 3 5/8".
Thanks for looking.
