CAMILLUS: Can someone ID this tang stamp. Thanks

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.

Is that stamp etched on instead of stamped?
I believe Tom Williams told me that was one of the cost cutting measures they took to repurpose blades originally with a different stamp.

Do you see how the tang area looks different than the rest of the blade?
I think that is because the tang stamp had been ground off and the etch applied.
I have had several that way, all produced shortly before they closed.

Some of the Rough Cut that I have had were not stamped nor etched.
