The handles look to be bone and the can opener is an older style. I am away from my books so cannot check tang marking.
This knife could be from just after WW II to as far back as 1930's.
Someone knowledgeable of Camillus could date this more specifically.

I checked a Camillus tang stamp chart and it looks like this particular tang stamp was used 1946--1956. Hope this helps. Nice Camillus scout/utility type folder.

Those are the knives that I love to buy. ::drool:: Used to be pretty cheap, not so much anymore :( Seems like everything I accumulate, everyone else in the trailer park ( :) ) has to have them too! ::doh::
