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