Chicago L 33 Lock-back Need a little help please!

Post by LDF Knives »

This Chicago knife I bought this in the 80's I've seen this on line, but very few in person There is a lot of history about the Chicago's now this knife has no medallion or burnt in lettering's on the handle. this has 3 brass pins, some only has one, some say these were made from Minnesota, some made by schrade, so looking at this knife what say you?? Chime in please :D my other Chicago, is a Folding Hunter is posted in my store, LDF Knives.

Camillus. The pattern started out as the Imperial Frontier Sportsman 4514, which I have. Later, Camillus made it for Sears/Craftsman and under their own label. I want to say I've seen a Crosman version as well.

The wood looks better than what's on my 4514. Nickel silver bolsters look much better than brass; which most of the old Frontier patterns had, even when reused for other labels.
