Re: camillus #72
Very nice Bones on that doglegg! I think those may be just as rare as the first gens. As we have discussed here before, the bone handles on the 72's didn't last long after the blade configuration change. Great pickup!doglegg wrote:Thank you Rexstubbins for this wonderful 2nd generation 72 in bone. Pretty excited to get it. Thanks again Doug.

Re: camillus #72
One of the 72's I found at the local hardware store, then went back later for the rest and some other patterns. I got the box too. It wasn't a holy grail find of old bones squirreled away but was pretty neat nonetheless. It really boosted my camillus collection.

Re: camillus #72
Thanks guys. That was last summer when I found them. I have the same box for 67's as well.
Does anybody else notice the image of the 72 on the box is a first gen?

Paul, congrats on the Kon-Kav. They're not very common. It took me several years to hunt one down.

Thanks Jerry. This one wasn't cheap, picked up at a show a year or two ago, but the condition doesn't get better.
