The 628Y is a fixed blade 6-1/2” OAL with 2-3/4” hollow ground blade. The blade is etched with the Yello-Jaket logo and name. It has an aluminum guard and birds head pommel. It comes with a brown leather sheath.
So far we do not have a 1997 or 1998 catalog, however we do have a 1998 price list.
The 628Y does not appear on the 1998 price list. Apparently between the time of the printing of the 1996 catalog and the printing of the 1998 price list, the 628Y was dropped from Camillus product line.
Since I cannot find it listed in any of the later catalogs or price lists, I can only assume that it was never returned to production, except perhaps as a SFO. Therefore the maximum time that the 628Y could have been made was 2 years, 1996 & 1997.
It is purely speculation that it may have been made in 1997 because to date we do not have a catalog or price list to confirm its production. Hopefully someday we will find a 1997 catalog or price list.
What this all means that the 628Y was probably made in low numbers and will likely be difficult to locate.
