Vit you keep coming up with great stuff . Like Ken mentioned the historical references in all your work and posting is just super stuff and will be available to so many . After reading that 1976 Catalog got my eye on a few had forgot about . Remember those years well was just going in the Army and was going to buy a couple of Cam loks but never did .
Take Care over there Vit and again Thank You for your dedication to the Camillus line of Knives and it’s history .

Thought I would post this here. It is information about The Camillus Collectors Club and Knives offered. Also a photo of one I was able to pick up. Although the padded tote and box are not the original one.
