Larry has most of the catalogs posted on his website. www.collectors-of-camillus.us
Find the earliest catalog that has your knife in it & then search forward until you find the last time they were listed in the catalog.
That will give you the range of dates when they were made.
According to Tom Williams, there is no accurate way to date an individual knife by the tang stamps.
Tom was the Historian for Camillus Cutlery Company before they closed.
