Camillus Boy Scout knives

[Papa Bones]

I picked this one up today at a Collectibles Shop that opened up this month in the small town north of me. It is a Double line Camillus 1047 Scout Whittler. Great shape, no cracks in the handle, which is common around the bottom of the shield, blades have great snap and doesn't appear to have been put on a stone since from the factory. Blades havent been used, no wobble, with just some tiny scratches. The only thing I've done is oil the joints and wipe it down.

Great find, Smitty. There's something about a long match-strike pull that really appeals to me!

Appreciate it Dan. I agree, plus the 72 pattern is one of my favorites.

Thanks Skip.

Here is a Scout Knife I picked up. You can see the knife has had a lot of use and abuse and the scales are broken and almost ready to fall off. I'm asking how much should I clean it up and should I attempt to replace the scales and attach the old shield to them. Because of the fact that I collect and never sell I'm not worried about possibly changing the value of it.

Here is another Camillus Scout Knife I just picked up. I had never seen that shield before.

David both of the knives have good steel ,hold a edge okay. The short line handles are like that on a lot of that model ,a good knife to rehandle and use .
The 4 line is in good shape ,would oil it up and put that one away . Nice old Camillus knives you scored

David, I totally agree with JP. The four line I believe is pre 1946 with that shield.

Yesterday afternoon this joined my collection. It is a CAMILLUS (1047), 3 blades, a swelled center, white handles, a long line tang stamp, no pattern # stamp, 3 5/8" closed, Boy Scout "whittler" pocket knife. This is only my second CAMILLUS (1047) that has white handles. It did need some very minor cleaning. But more importantly, there are NO CRACKS anywhere on the handles. I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).
