Camillus senator 44 mimarked?????? marked 49

[ka9vto]

I have aquired a Camillus 2 blade senator pen knife with milled File worked Brass liners on the top! And a Federal Sheild, looks to be Pearl or Cracked Ice, My problem is every thing I find showes its a Modle 44 but the master Spear Blade is stamped 49 which is a tuxedo and no it is not a blade change. I have some tuxedos and not even close to the same size or style of blade and Nail nick is way different any help would be Great
thanks

Camillus changed there numbering system at one point in time.
I don't not have a list of what the changes were, but I know it happened.
Tom Williams, the historian for Camillus Cutlery, told me about it.
That is one of the things that makes listing all the Camillus models so difficult.

I cannot speak to your specific knife, but that may be the reason for the difference.
It also could have been that the wrong blade was installed in the factory.
A third possibility is that someone may have changed the blade.

Sorry I could not be more specific.
Perhaps Tom will see this post and give his input.
