To add a bit more they call this an equal end cattle. 0078; For reference why did you call this an Imperial pattern?

I have a WWII Camillus USAAF Pilot's knife and it is exactly as yours, so I would say that it is USAAF Pilot's pattern. It may go by other names also. Are you sure the handles are bone? Look like rough black to me. I think the handle material would be a qualifier too.

If the handles are rough black, it probably is not USAAF pilots knife. The USAAF knives were Mil-spec'd with bone handles

Murf, this is just a wild guess you understand.
I'll assumilate you meant other than different handles,
different length pulls, lined bolsters on yours and a bail
on the OP's both the knives are exactly the same. :mrgreen:

I was just referring to the pattern and blade configuration. It seems that all the Mil-Spec patterns were a little different in appointments from one maker to another.
