Thanks Skip. Went through the whole thread, only saw 1, 3-blade, USA shield. O'.

Camillus 3 blade in the middle of the list, Price & Zalesky's 15th Edition, Page 100.

I think those were part of a medical kit, kind of a huge first aid kit. But not for certain. Love the no line stamp. Congrats.

Nice No line Camillus Ridge .
Does it have brass or steel pins and liners ? My old eyes can’t tell .
Like Floyd stated have heard first aid kits/ Quartermaster / or bail out kit knife for Navy .
The bone from that period was nice stuff . Thanks for sharing

I believe those were marked MD USN, but I may be wrong.

Mike Silvey’s books have information in them on these. If you don’t have his book I can take a photo of the page and post it here, just let me know. BTW great find, I have been on the hunt for one of these for quite a while.

I think you are probably right.

Thanks everyone. Knew I'd get some good info. Looks to be a 14S2, brass liners and center scale. O'.

Car Man : Love to have that, thanks, J.O'.
