Reasonably rare Camillus

Morning Floyd and fellas . Wade ,been almost a year but ,Thank. You . They’re a great knife for sure .
Sitting here this cold windy snowy day taking advantage of being able to hide out . So that brings me to updating notes into one ( hopefully ) page with out all the pages of scribbled out notes and what not . Then into the Lap top for reference .A question to you ,was the #12 only made one or two years with bone. And if there was another material used beside bone what was it in this stamp period ? Have looked in the 1946 and 48 Catalog but would like to hear or see what some of you have to offer .
Those 16 and 17 s a page back sure are nice on the eyes ::tu:: ::tu::

JP, going by the catalogs it seem that first offering at the end of and right after the War was the only ones in bone. I sure like them and hate to pass one up. I'm not sure what those black handles were made of before Delrin. You sure have some wonderful ones.
