A good many of my 4 lines have the 4 line stamp on the pile side tang & Sword Brand stamped on the mark side.
It helps to remember that the Sword Brand stamp meant that that was the top of the line for Camillus. Sword Brand was the name brand and Camillus was the company that made them.
This is a Camillus Streamline celluloid jack of mine- A hawkbill from my collection- From ebay- This is from a 4 line Tip Top Barlow-
I think the first pic & the forth pic have the same Sword Brand stamps. The Streamline Brand was introduced sometime in the 1930 according to Tom Williams. So I would place those two knives between 1930-1946, but I think the other two stamps are before 1930.
I wonder how many variations of the Sword Brand stamp (not etch) we can find & document?
Sounds like fun!!
Y'all wanna join me? Send me pics of each different Sword Brand stamps you have.
We have 3 so far, y'all dot anything different?

Re: sword brand
I have not seen a Sword Brand with "Sword Brand" stamped on the blade.
This is the only Sword Brand model I have seen with a name stamped on the blade.

Re: sword brand
Dale you can make out the stamped(maybe) D in Brand pretty easy and then looking backwards see the remains of the crossed swords and Sword stampings(maybe).It is the knife on top.It's better in the right light.
In one of your posts( I think),but I did read somewhere Tom states that the stamped Sword Brand on the blade was used for a short time from 1906,then they switched to all etches and stamping the tang.
I changed my post Dale to allow a firm maybe on the SWORD BRAND® on the blade. It does appear to be a stamped D,although I can't feel any indentation? Sorry for the confusion.

Re: sword brand
It was from notes I made on a phone interview with Tom.
I have posted it elsewhere but what Tom said was: "Prior to World War II Sword Brand was stamped on the Sword Brand knives. After the war most of the Sword Brand knives had the Sword Brand etched on the blade instead of stamp on the tang."
What I understood him to say prior to WW II they were stamped Sword Brand on the tang and after WW II they were etched. I cannot recall seeing another blade (aside from the one you just posted) that was stamped on the blade with the Sword Brand name.

Re: sword brand
Maybe this is where I got my information,from another site,quote:
"Camillus introduced the "SWORD BRAND" line in 1906. Numerous
styles of folding and fixed blade knives were offered. The
early "SWORD BRAND" knives were stamped on the blade. Later
knives were blade etched with the crossed swords logo.

Re: sword brand
I had not seen that post Lyle. It must have been on B/F.
Tom emailed me yesterday and is supposed to call me this evening.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances I will ask him about it then.
It seems obvious to me from the knife you posted that they did stamp the blades at some point in time.
Just when that was and for how long, I haven’t a clue as yours is the only one I have seen with that stamp.

Re: sword brand
Scout Knife stamped on the shield. Sword Brand stamped on the mark side of the main blade, 4-line Camillus stamp on the pile side. Pre-WWII????

Re: sword brand
..jerry, I've got the same knife, except mine has the compass, same shield, only the master is 4 line stamped, and I remember someone posting that back when all blades on a knife were 4 line(1914-1941) they didn't stamp tool blades like a punch, can opener, etc, so I'm betting yours is the same vintage or a little later than mine which is supposed to 1914-scouts started in 1910, and this was the first Camillus model of the scout!!.............. ............

Re: sword brand
A #70 compared to a #72. Introduced as part of the Prestige Line in '73 it was called the 'Hiker'. They changed the name of the #70 to 'Woodcarver' shortly before the pattern was discontinued in '82 or '83.
