Camillus 99

Post by Hukk »

Here are a couple pictures of a Camillus 99 I have. I was once my father in laws knife. The scales have shrunk, mostly due to poor storage. Still a nice old knife.

You have an early version of the model #99 Camp knife. Note the two piece can-opener that was used during the 1940's through the early 1950's.

Thanks for the information, I was thinking about replacing the scales and reinstalling the shield, but really the scales are just cosmetic, everything else is OK.
