Darn it! That's what happens when I stay away from EBay for a couple of weeks - you guys get all the good deals!

Re: camillus #72
I actually ran across it with 3 minutes left and it was low so I through out a price and won. Most of the time it doesn't work like that for me.

Re: camillus #72
Jerry got a couple more. Nothing special. Just different tang stamps. Long line and the last tang stamp cant remember what it is called.

Re: camillus #72
Couple of good ones there David. I'm especially fond of the saber grind on the older one. I've just called the newer tang stamp "the double line" stamp. I don't think I've ever heard anyone call it anything else. Nice pickups.
