Camillus Double Shield Knife?

The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States with roots dating back to 1876. The company manufactured Camillus branded knives and was a prolific contractor for other knife brands up until its last days in 2007 when the company filed for bankruptcy.

"A knife show in Moscow." Vit, that never crossed my mind that there would be knife shows in Moscow. Post a picture or two of the show if you have some. Thanks. ::handshake::

In Moscow every year seven knife shows take place. "Hunting and fishing in Russia", "Blade", "Arsenal" twice a year, and "Arms and Hunting" once a year.
Here are my photos from the last two shows:
Blade (March 2019) - https://photos.app.goo.gl/vPk9jk4b5foCd8Yq6
Arsenal (April 2019) - https://photos.app.goo.gl/UPEtEXSjZr7v8nmM8

Here’s another double shield Camillus. A 881 , not very well built,some blade rub. It does have stamped tang markings not etch ,on both sides .
The pen blade doesn’t sit in the well right and rubs on main. You can really tell the quality of there product went down hill prior to closing .
