Y'all have any insight on this Washington Jack?
I got this Camillus Washington Jack at the antique / junk shop last weekend.
I have been trying to research the approximate manufacture year of this ole girl. All the resources I have dug into only go back to 1941.
SO.... I am thinking it goes back earlier than 1941.
It is a sword Brand and the Camillus tang stamp is on the pile side of the main blade.
Y'all got any ideas?
What say ye?

Nice find, MM. I have a trio of those small single blade Camillus 4 liners with the "George Washington" signature on them. But yours looks like an actual user.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Yep...
I was sorta leaning that way since the Schrades were from about that time period.
Thanks for your input!

Yep, this one was toted in a pocket for a few years. It is almost 4" long so it is a REAL pocket full.1967redrider wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 12:21 pm Nice find, MM.

Thanks!
It needs some help on the pile side, a good cleaning and oiling. BUT, I think it might be a good one.
