Nice knife and in really good shape. Has it ever been used? Is 1047 the designation they used for the 72 pattern Boy Scout??

The 1047 looks like it never been sharpened,it has a few spots on the blades but you expect that on carbon blades.I say it been sit in a draw for a few years.I will oil it and put it in my display.

How about a short line EO and a 4 Line/Sword whittler? Nevermind the other steel, it's just there for support....

I think the bone they used in the last years was some of the beast looking bone you can find on any knife made around the same time.
I have several of the Remington remakes that where made by Camillus and I'm very impressed with all the knives.I'm also working on another "72 Ducks unlimited" off the bay right now.
The last pic is of a Camillus made Rem bullet,just look at the bone on that knife, it is supper nice stuff,as you can see it was the same bone they used on the 72 from around the same time.

Just won this one on ebay. Don't have it in hand yet. WWII Maritime Commission and Merchant Marine Sailor's knife, four-line stamp, 4 1/2" closed. If I remember correctly it has wood handles. Doesn't appear to have been used or sharpened.
