Camillus 72 Clones
Re: Camillus 72 Clones
3 knice ones PB. That first one is new to me. The 863 is knice. The Imperial made a scout version so maybe a Sears as well.

Re: Camillus 72 Clones
Thanks Floyd, I've got a couple of the 1047 made by Imperial, I also have one Imperial 72 clone that just has a bare shield, so yep they could have had one slip through the line for Sears.
Appreciate it Dan, good to see you gain.

Wow! That is sweet group you ended up with P.B. Very NICE!Papa Bones wrote: ↑Fri Aug 18, 2023 1:32 am Hey guys, Look who's back. But thought I would submit a couple of items for your perusal. First is another 72 clone that's I've never seen the tang stamp before, It appears to be produced by either Ulster or maybe Schrade, but my opinion is Ulster.

Re: Camillus 72 Clones
Here's some 72 Clones that I picked up while I was away for a bit.
Imperial 1047, Black Handles with Federal or Badge style shield. McGrew Hillbilly Classic with brown handles, with box & papers McGrew Hillbilly Classic with Yellow Handles. Blades have great snap with no wobble, but they have been abused a bit. Didn't have a yellow one so had to get it. This one has no Tang Stamp, but is the same dimension as a Camillus 72 and almost identical to the 72 clone that was made by Whitetail Cuttlery. Faux Pearl Handles and has "27th Hillbilly Days April 10 11 12 2003" Which I found is an event held yearly in Pikeville Kentucky.

Re: Camillus 72 Clones
A few more,
Camillus 1047 long line tang stamp, black handles with badge style BSA shield.
Camillus 1047 long line tang stamp, white handles with round BSA shield. Yes there are some cracks around the shield,
Camillus 1047 long line tang stamp, brown handles with round BSA shield. Camillus 1047 long line tang stamp brown handles with round BSA shield. Don't know if the mark side handles are faded, some kind of chemical got on them or color mix was wrong, but shield looks undamaged, and blades have great snap. Will make a good edc.
