Re: camillus #72
Paul, I get the impression they didn't produce a lot of 72s with both sides saber ground. At least you don't see many of them.

In my meager but growing accumulation of 72s, I have two with the full saber grind. One is a first-gen, the other is a 1047 that doesn't seem cobbled.jerryd6818 wrote:Paul, I get the impression they didn't produce a lot of 72s with both sides saber ground. At least you don't see many of them.

Re: camillus #72
Very nice Tony. I see you go for quality, not quantity. There is enough slight variations in the 72 line to keep you busy and your pocketbook emptied for quite some time to come. And that doesn't include the clones.

I finally got it in gear and took a group shot of my custom 72s. There's too much sun today but this will have to do.

Re: camillus #72
Here's the last customized 72 I own. It'll stay, the other I gave to dad. Glennbad did this one for me. Excuse the smudge on the shield. I didn't notice until I cropped the image that I hadn't gotten all the wax off when I waxed it last.
